Out Of The Forest Theatre in association with Something For The Weekend presents

The Brief Life & Mysterious Death of Boris III, King of Bulgaria

Written by Sasha Wilson and Joseph Cullen Directed by Hannah Hauer-King

The year is 1943 and Bulgaria has just told Hitler where to stick it.

Europe’s major powers are at war and King Boris III must choose a side or be swept away. A raucous and poignant tale in which a bunch of underdogs use every trick in the book to outwit the Nazis and save nearly 50,000 Jewish lives.

Fresh from a run in New York, the Edinburgh Fringe smash hit and Off West End award-winner is now heading to The North Wall.

Award-winning Out Of The Forest Theatre’s irreverent comedy – featuring live music inspired by Bulgarian and Jewish folk tunes – tells the incredible true story that the world forgot.

Reviews

Praise for the company

‘Snappily written, wittily performed and brightly coloured by a live score... For all its fun and games, it is a play with a sting.’

The Guardian

‘THE hit of the Edinburgh Fringe.’

Times Radio

‘Razor-sharp wit and faultless timing, a spirited celebration of the Bulgarian monarch who outwitted Hitler and saved thousands of Jewish lives.’

The Scotsman

‘A spoonful of satire, a dash of revisionism, and a whole lot of black humour.’

Broadway World

‘Whether a jazz fan, a history buff or just someone who loves gripping real-life stories, this is a must see.’

HRH Prince Kyril of Bulgaria, Boris III's Grandson
