About this audio guide
This audio guide to the Sofia Puppet Theatre on General Gurko Street follows Mara Penkova, a National Theatre actress from Kazanlak who turned to puppets in the years around the Second World War. It touches her training in Germany and Moscow, the lean post-war seasons, and the question of who pays for a new kind of theatre in a country that has never had one. Best heard standing at the front door, ideally as an audience is going in.
