ResumoA new play by the celebrated Turkish writer Murathan Mungan, his own adaptation of an unpublished short story, became one of the most captivating plays shown in Istanbul at the annual International Festival late last spring. The play, Dumrul and Azrael, directed by Mustafa Avkiran at Istanbul's 5th Street Theatre as a joint production of the Festival and the Hebbel Theatre in Berlin, succeeded in competing with such Festival offerings as Medea, directed by DimitrisPapaioannou for the Adafos Dance Theatre;Robert Wilson's The Days Before, with Isabella Rossellini as a Narrator; Masurca Fogo by Pina Bausch; Hanna Schygulla's evening of Brechtian songs; and a vividly exhilarating local production of The Cherry Orchard, rewritten in Black Sea dialect by Ferhan Sensoy for his privately owned theatre, Ortaoyuncular.
