Memo (Havel Collection) - Paperback

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

The Memo is one of Václav Havel's most popular plays, and this new translation is by Havel's most prolific translator, Paul Wilson. An office has adopted a new official language, Ptydepe, in an attempt to make communication more scientific. But the new language may truly be a tool for power. Havel's play was able to slip by the Communist Czech censors in 1965, despite its veiled political commentary. Part of the Havel Collection, a series of new translations of the work of Václav Havel, from Theater 61 Press.
