Summary/Abstract: The article is part of a study on Bulgarian theatre under socialism. It focuses on the repertory policy after the political changes from 1944 onwards. The new authorities gradually and systematically got control over all of them. The main priority was to rehabilitate the people and arts were believed to be the possible tools to achieve this goal. In this way, the authorities linked culture, arts and theatre with propaganda. A party-political regulation over culture, and respectively, over theatre, was enforced in all areas, from repertories to personal cases. Total control was exerted universally, but especially over the texts and the repertories, which were treated with increasing attention.
