As every year, the Regina Maria Theatre responds to the National Campaign launched by UNITER – "Artists for Artists", so this year, on the occasion of World Theatre Day, celebrated on March 27, the show chosen for this special day is EQUUS* (by Peter Shaffer, under the artistic direction of Szabó K. István) – which will be performed on March 28, from 6 pm, at the Great Hall.

On World Theatre Day, the international message was formulated by playwright Dario Fo, and the national one by Ion Caramitru. These messages will be read to the audience before the performances that are part of the Campaign launched by UNITER.

The National Campaign "Artists for Artists" is organized by UNITER, together with theaters in Bucharest and across the country, with the aim of raising funds for elderly artists with health problems.

Initiated and organized since 2002, the National Campaign "Artists for Artists" is a stimulator of guild solidarity, a financial resource for elderly artists with health problems, and a signal to the public and authorities regarding their situation and their dignity.

Every year, UNITER, together with important artists and theatrical institutions, and partners who have joined this program, has managed to make possible the National Campaign "Artists for Artists" through which the necessary funds are raised to support elderly artists from all over the country. The funds raised by theaters from ticket sales are directed to a specially established fund - the Theater Solidarity Fund.

*EQUUS (1973) is a play written by the English playwright Peter Shaffer, and is the story of a psychiatrist who tries to treat a young man who has a pathological religious fascination with horses. Shaffer was inspired to write Equus after hearing about a shocking incident: a 17-year-old boy blinded six horses in a small town near Suffolk. The playwright built a fictional history of the possible causes of the incident, without knowing any other details about it. The plot of the play is similar to a detective story, in which psychiatrist Martin Dysart tries to understand the causes of the boy's actions, while struggling with conflicting feelings about his personal life.
