Details
Ferdinand Vanek, a dissident playwright recently released from jail, struggles to maintain his dignity, humanity and sanity against an onslaught of lies and propaganda. In a world where paranoia is mundane and can turn even the simplest of conversations into a web of dissimulation and neurotic half truth Vanek stands alone and exposed, the last honest man. In these two bleakly funny Beckett like satires written during the darkest days of communist occupation Vaclav Havel, who went on to become his countries first post-communist president, exposes the mechanics of a corrupt society and shows how it mangles the very nature of human communication.
