“Broken Bridge” brings together six plays written at different times, each of which is markedly distinct from the others — thematically, generically, and in essence. In this book, the theater-going public will find side by side: a national-historical absurdity, a grotesque black comedy, a New Year’s hysterical farce, a drama about the war in Abkhazia, a psychedelic trip-play, and a Georgian group-schizoid tragicomedy... The social vices exposed by Beso Khvedelidze in Georgian society remain perpetually relevant. Family and social collapse, incessant bullying, polydrug addiction, conformism, mental disorders, gender imbalance, forced prostitution, and a fierce generational clash — these are the leading themes that the author brought forward in his plays.
