Stratiev is the most successful Bulgarian comedy writer of the 20th century. His plays have enjoyed over 1,500 performances across the world. They are highly entertaining satirical excursions into the land of the absurd. They address the bureaucracy, nepotism and corruption of the totalitarian society and their inevitable transmutations during the transition to democracy. His heroes are small people left to the mercy of a higher power who constantly find themselves in comic and surreal circumstances. - From 'Introduction' to Contemporary Bulgarian Plays, published by Tantalus Books, 2002

Synopsis:

The following description is from the show's press release: "Ivan is tired of the long hairs sticking out from his sheep skin jacket. He tries, without any success, to go to a barber shop, but the barber of course refuses to use his sacred scissors on a jacket. So Ivan decides to go to a farmer to trim his jacket. . .well actually to shear it. The farmer accepts but he has to register the jacket as 'private sheep' because the State asks him to do so.Now all of a sudden there's a government document that says that Ivan owns a sheep, because he brought the jacket to the farm to have it shorn. . .soon after Ivan gets a letter from the state telling him that he has to pay a tax on his sheep. Now Ivan doesn't have a sheep but a jacket and of course he doesn't want to pay the tax. . .so he goes to the Ministry to clarify the mistake. . .unfortunately it won't be that easy. . .The bureaucrat has a document that certifies the fact that Ivan owns a sheep. Ivan doesn't have anything to prove that he doesn't own a sheep!"
