VACLAV HAVEL 'S comedy translated from the Czech by VERA BLACKWELL and adapted for radio by MARTIN ESSLIN with Donald Pleasence and Hugh Burden
Vaclav Havel , perhaps the best known contemporary Czech playwright, is under threat of prosecution in his own country. In the period of liberalisation which preceded the Russian occupation of Czechoslovakia Havel's writing played an important part.
The Memorandum - first broadcast by the BBC in 1966 on radio and later shown on BBCty -is a brilliant, and in the light of subsequent events, prophetic satire on the nature of political power in a totalitarian country.
Produced by MARTIN ESSLIN (Another play by Vaclav Havel , ' Guardian Angel ': Thurs, 9.0)
