In honor of his 70th birthday and upcoming two month residency at Columbia University, Untitled Theater Company #61 (Artistic Director Edward Einhorn) - the company that brought us the Ionesco Festival and recently the NEUROfest - presents all of the plays of Vaclav Havel in Havel Fest.
Translated by Tom Stoppard and directed by Eva Burgess, Largo Desolato is the story of a dissident writer who sits at home, terrified that the next knock on the door will be the police, come to take him to jail for his political writings. Paralyzed with fear, he is visited by friends, lovers, and well-wishers, each of whom torture him in their own way. The play is produced by the Tyna Collective.
