Drama12 Ceausescu's Romania & the 1989 Romanian Revolution (2019): Mad Forrest

"In early 1990, Churchill was asked by Mark Wing-Davey, director of the Central School of Speech and Drama, if she would like to join his students on a trip to Bucharest, to work with students there and then to write a play for the Central students' end of year show. CeauČ™escu’s dictatorship had been overthrown only a few months before and, as Churchill writes in her introduction to Plays: Three (Nick Hern Books, 1998), 'Emotions in Bucharest were still raw and the Romanian students and other people we met helped us to understand what Romania had been like under CeauČ™escu as well as what happened in December and what was happening while we were there.'"
