WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

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.

The Memo is presented in a new translation by Paul Wilson, directed by Edward Einhorn, and produced by Untitled Theater Company #61. At a large bureaucracy, a mysterious new official language has infected all office communications. The new language is completely logical and almost completely incomprehensible. The key to the whole affair lies in a memorandum...written in the new language that no one seems able to read. This play helped bring Havel to the attention of the American public, winning an OBIE in 1969 for its production at the Public.
