Teatrul Național Marin Sorescu

The Marin Sorescu National Theatre in Craiova, bearing the name of the great poet and playwright from Oltenia, is one of the most prestigious theatrical institutions in Romania, with a long tradition in the cultural life of the city. The building in which it operates, erected in the second half of the twentieth century, stands out through its ample and representative architecture, becoming a landmark of central Craiova. The theatre is known nationally and internationally for its distinguished productions, for the renowned directors and actors who have consolidated its reputation and for its participation in important festivals, including the famous International Shakespeare Festival that the city hosts.

Its repertoire blends the great classical texts with contemporary creations, offering audiences reference performances. The institution is a symbol of Oltenia's artistic life.
