ABSTRACT
Stanislav Stratiev was coerced into writing his first play. His friend, actor and theater director Neicho Popov made him do it. It was in the early 1970s. By that time, the young Stratiev had had the experience of writing feuilletons, funny scenes and sketches, and had published two books of short stories. He worked as a journalist, something which he continued to claim to be for long years afterwards.
