Boychev is a political satirist and comedian. In the 90s his specific blend of absurd humour, surrealism and satirical eloquence brought him international acclaim. The Colonel Bird, his haunting social allegory of life in the Balkans, won in 1997 the British Council International Playwriting Award for best play, presented by Harold Pinter. - From "Notes from the Editor", The Colonel Bird and Other Plays, published by Tantalus Books, 2003
