Ivan Radoev

Ivan Dashev Radoev (also spelled Iwan Radoew) (Bulgarian: Иван Дашев Радоев; March 30, 1927, in Pordim, Bulgaria – July 10, 1994) was a lyrical poet and playwright from Bulgaria.

Biography Radoev's plays have been translated into more than 12 languages and performed in multiple countries, from Cuba to Mongolia. In 1992 he received the Special Award for lifetime achievement from the International Academy of Arts in France. Radoev wrote about crippled emotions, failing relationships and the need for love. But ever present in the background was the clash between the need for personal freedom and the growing social pressure of the totalitarian state where ideology could not tolerate individualism." Upon Radoev's death in 1994, the Pleven municipal theater in Plevin Bulgaria was renamed Ivan Radoev Dramatic Theatre
