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.
My name is Ioana, I’m 28 years old, and I’m an actress.
I always say that I have the most beautiful job in the world—telling stories. Getting to experience the other side of the story, being the one who writes it from scratch, was, I think, the most intense and rewarding creative process I’ve ever gone through.
I never know what to say about myself, but I know what I can say from now on: hey, at 28, I wrote my first play!
“The Taxi Cab Theory” is a story about the misalignment between people and how some relationships continue even after they’ve ended. I enjoyed observing and trying to capture the gap between what we feel and what we actually manage to convey, and the way people construct stories to make sense of love, loss, and the choices they make.
