Description
A 19th century play directed by US actor John Malkovich is causing a stir in Bulgaria, with critics slamming what they called an "insulting" portrayal of Bulgarians. Last week's premiere of "Arms and the Man" by renowned Irish-born playwright George Bernard Shaw sparked raucous protests among nationalist groups outside the Bulgarian National Theatre. "I've played in 47 countries," says Malkovich. "I'm pretty sure I've never insulted any of the countries." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
