The main purpose of this article is to describe the most important dramaturgical strategies (absurd, grotesque and satire) in the works of Bulgarian playwright Stanislav Stratiev. S. Stratiev explores the possibilities of the grotesque and the absurd to reveal the absurdity problems which are inherent in societies behind the Iron Curtain – in the Eastern European countries. In the plays Roman Bath (1974) and The Suede Jacket (1976) as а satirist and ironist he attempts to understand political deformation, reveals the attitude of discord against social absurdities and nonsense, uncovers the artificiality of political structures, institutions and ideologies.
