TACT/The Actors Company Theatre has announced a one week extension of its production of Václav Havel’s The Memorandum. Jenn Thompson has directed the production, which will now close on December 4.

The play is a spiky satire of bureaucracy gone mad. When the managing director of an enormous organization 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.

The cast features Mark Alhadeff , Nilanjana Bose, Trent Dawson, Jeffrey C. Hawkins, Joel Leffert, Kate Levy, John Plumpis, James Prendergast, and Lynn Wright.

The creative team includes Adrian W. Jones (sets), David Toser (costumes), Philip S. Rosenberg (lights), Stephen Kunken (sound), and Joseph Trapanese (original music).
