Caragiale always remains contemporary. For over a century, his biting satire, irresistible humor, and gallery of memorable characters continue to speak to the Romanian public with the same freshness and relevance. WonderTheatre now invites you to discover a surprising staging of the great comedy *A Lost Letter* – a version reinterpreted with much courage and imagination.

Director Andrei Mateiu proposes a completely different world: an alternative universe, ruled exclusively by women. In this utopian scenic space, political intrigues, personal egos and behind-the-scenes games take on a new dimension, highlighting the essence of the Romanian spirit – exuberant, ingenious, comic, but also marked by that mixture of nonsense and candor that Caragiale masterfully captured.

The show thus becomes a journey into a "future past", where the classic Caragiale text is put in dialogue with the present, but also with our questions about power, identity and the humor that saves us 

Cast:

Zina Trahanache - Magda Catone / Raluca Rusu Dita
Fanica Tipatescu - Catalina Grama Ipate / Ana Odagiu

A bubbly show, full of irony and humor, which proves that the great Caragiale remains "ours" even after 100 years.

A perfect reason to come to the theater with family and friends – to laugh, to enjoy yourselves, and to look at the world through the bitter-comic mirror of an immortal comedy.
