| THE MEMORANDUM by Vaclav Havel Directed by Jenn Thompson at The Beckett Theatre 410 West 42nd Street, NYC October 25 through November 27 Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 7:30 Saturday at 2:00 and 8:00, Sunday at 3:00 In The Memorandum, renowned playwright, former political prisoner, and the first president of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Havel, gives us a spiky satire of bureaucracy gone mad. When the managing director of an enormous corporation discovers that all office communications are suddenly being written in "Ptydepe," a newly invented and impossibly complicated language, his attempts to get one memo translated lead him through an increasingly ridiculous maze of red tape. |
