Leaving (Havel Collection) - Paperback

by Vaclav Havel (Author), Vaaclav Havel (Author), Paul Wilson (Translator)

Leaving was the first play written by Václav Havel after his final term as President of The Czech Republic. Inspired by Lear and The Cherry Orchard, Havel writes of a man forced to leave the state owned villa he has called home for years, when his time in public office has ended. A drama of ethics and politics with, as always, a touch of the absurd. Translated by Havel's most prolific translator, Paul Wilson. Part of the Havel Collection, a series of new translations of the work of Václav Havel, from Theater 61 Press.
