Independent show hosted by the National Theatre of Bucharest!

The play will be held at 5 P.M. as well, due to the high demand of the audience!

Do you like Piersic? How about Radu Beligan? Then, you must see “Strangers in the Night”, which is one of the favourite plays of the audience, a real work of art directed by Radu Beligan.

The protagonists are Florin Piersic, who does not even need a presentation, and Medeea Marinescu – an extremely valuable actress for her generation, whose performance perfectly blends with the unique and remarkable acting skills of master “Mărgelatu'”.

In “Strangers in the Night”, Florin Piersic is Pierre, a man in the prime of his life, who, after a night spent in a bar, is taken home by Julietta (Medeea Marinescu), a beautiful young woman. She knows who he is and that is precisely why she wanted to accompany him to his apartment. That night, he finds out something that will change his life. But until revealing the big secret, Julietta confesses that she is a prostitute and asks for money, and then she says that she is actually a reporter and she is doing a research for her next article. These twists are meant to reveal who these characters really are.

This play brought Florin Piersic back on the stage of the theatre and he confessed that he felt younger when playing. The plays fits him like a glove, it is a romantic comedy with incredible twists, lies, seduction and a lesson about how time changes us all. Pierre is the type of man who feels that he hasn’t accomplished everything he wanted in life, and Julietta is the type of woman who wants to get what she sets her mind to and recover a part of her life, which she lost in her youth. Their roads cross because each wants something from the other, and this thing leads them to other secrets that need to be revealed.

The play is fascinating not only because Florin Piersic’s name is on the poster. It is a masterpiece, a play in which you can’t wait to see what happens next, what will they say and how will the action flow. And this thing is very important when it comes to theatre because you must not have time to get bored when you are in the hall.

The play lasts for 2 hours.
