The fourth edition of the Playwriting Workshop led by actor and writer Mimi Brănescu will conclude with a series of staged readings presented between June 2 and 6, 2026, at the Media Hall of the National Theater of Bucharest. Conceived by Mimi Brănescu with the support of the National Theater of Bucharest (TNB), the project reflects, with each edition, the Bucharest National Theater’s ongoing commitment to supporting the new generation of playwrights and fostering their artistic debuts on a professional theater stage.
"Good morning" was the greeting I dreaded as a child. Especially if I had to say it first. And I often had to. Now I’m not afraid anymore, so: Good morning! My name is Anamaria Codiță, and I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in acting from UNATC Bucharest. From the time I started college until now, I’ve wanted to explore different artistic fields to find the form that truly represents me.
I haven’t found it completely yet, and that has made me panic. This playwriting course reminded me in a very pleasant way of my fear of saying hello. And how I overcame it simply by trying. The same thing happened with writing. I get emotional quickly when it comes to my work, but I’m confident in the new path I’ve started down. Have a great day!
“Fame and Other Addictions” is a play that marks the beginning of my journey as a playwright. I spent a long time searching for a theme to focus on, and I chose to explore, from my perspective, how addictions manifest themselves when you’re 25. It’s the story of young people who love each other but don’t know how to handle it. They get lost in the chaos that comes with adulthood and navigate a dizzying journey through the adult world. The characters in this play are searching. Who they are, what they want, what they don’t want—and this search is also what defines me at this stage of my life.
The search for one’s own identity can become an addiction in itself. It’s hard to find yourself, but not impossible.
