Lyubov po scenariy v HOLLYWOOD

What starts in a casting room quickly turns into a quick‑witted duel of timing and chemistry. This intimate, two‑actor comedy is led on stage by Janett Miovska and Nikolay Todorov, whose dynamic rapport powers a story that playfully blurs the line between performance and real feeling. Direction is by Kamen Koev, with original music created for the production by Militsa Gladnishka together with Ivan Velchev—musical cues that add a sly, cinematic glint to the action.

The show had its Bulgarian premiere on May 14, 2024 (7:30 p.m.) at the historic community center “Slavyanska beseda – 1880.” It now welcomes audiences in the building’s theater complex on 127 Rakovski Street, Sofia—most often on the Chamber Stage known to generations of theatregoers as “Salza i Smyah.” The venue is one of the capital’s cultural landmarks and the perfect size for a close‑up view of a spirited two‑hander.

Who’s behind it

• Cast: Janett Miovska and Nikolay Todorov—an onstage pairing that shifts at speed from biting comedy to soft confession.
• Director: Kamen Koev, guiding a brisk, actor‑centered staging that keeps the focus on character reveals rather than big sets.
• Music: Militsa Gladnishka and Ivan Velchev, whose bespoke score slyly nods to movie romance while staying firmly theatrical.
• Presented by: the newly founded “Tetris” Foundation, created by the team to champion independent projects and cross‑pollinate theatre, music and literature.

What to expect

Expect screwball rhythms, audition‑room mind games, and the kind of backstage truths that ring uncomfortably—and hilariously—true. The script’s “Broadway bones” remain, but the humor has been sharpened for local ears, with references and rhythms that land squarely in Sofia. Running time is approximately 120 minutes, giving the actors room to escalate the stakes and then let the heart sneak in.

If you’re mapping out a comedy streak, pair this title with other audience favorites on our stage list, such as the relationship capers in Savarsheni natrapnici or the razor‑edged office satire of Bez garanciya. Fans of character‑driven farce might also enjoy the ring‑ring chaos of Idiotyt zvyni vinagi tri pyti.

Seen up close, with no place for the characters to hide, “Любов по сценарий в HOLLYWOOD” becomes a lively study in ego, ambition and the accidents that rewrite our best‑laid plans. It’s bright, fast, and just sentimental enough to linger after the applause.
