In "Life as a Story" a boy and an actor find out why the characters from the Land of Tales are disappearing and how could they help them. The play was awarded the Prize for Young Drama at "Camil Petrescu" National Contest, organized by the Romanian Ministry of Culture in 1996.

The radio script was produced and broadcast by the National Radio Theatre in 1999, directed by Mihai Lungeanu.

"Slipping into a plum" - a little boy learns from a plum stone how to befriend his older brother. "Slipping into a plum" won the 1st Prize at the National Radio Playwriting Competition held by the Romanian Radio Broadcasting Society in 1999. The radio play "Slipping into a plum" was produced and broadcast by Romanian National Radio Theatre in 2000, directed by Mircea Albulescu.

"Mr. Chocolate Man" tells us the story of a gluttonous girl who discovers by her own what happens with the children that take candies from strangers. The play received the Grand Prize at the drama contest of the International Drama Festival for Puppets and Marionettes "Gulliver", Galäi, 2006.

The toys of a spoiled child take their fate in their own little hands, wings or claws and run away in "When toys say bye". In a world full of ugliness and violence, the toys in this play show us the importance of holding on to the childhood in our souls, an oasis of miracles and beauty. "When toys say bye" was awarded with the Grand Prize at the first edition of the drama contest of the International Drama Festival "100, 1000, 1,000,000 stories", organized by the "Ion Creanga" Theatre from Bucharest in 2007, and it was presented in the "Reading performances" section of the festival.
