The Licence

on BBC Radio 3

by PAVEL KOHOUT translated and adapted by PETER TEGEL , with
Pavel Kohout is one of the Czech dissident playwrights; he is at present living in enforced exile in Austria. This play, receiving its first English performance, is a companion to Havel's Protest, broadcast last Sunday.
Ferdinand Vanek , the same playwright hero of Protest, goes to get a licence for his dog. He finds that as he is out of favour with the authorities, such a simple formality may turn out to be quite complicated - unless some kind of compromise can be reached. Directed by ANTON GILL
(Pat Heywood is a National Theatre player)
