Vaclav Havel "Memorandum"

I am going to see this play tomorrow night in Edinburgh,does anyone know anthing about it?




|||



It is written by Vaclav Havel (assuming you know who he is)





Basically, it is a commedy satirising the communist bureaucracy. It is a 1 act play written in 1965 in which the head of an office tries to comply with a government directive written in unintelligible bureaucratic language.





Rather like a whole hour of trying to understand a Czech Sir Humphrey Appleby

yes i did know who he is,that was one of the reasons for going to see the play.maybe give me an insight into Czech humour.

Czech humour is very dry and satirical
