Tomorrow

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.

Tomorrow, translated by Barbara Day, is presented as a staged reading. Havel’s only history play, it recounts the events of 1918 Czechoslovakia, when, after 300 years under the Habsburg Empire, the state finally broke free and established its own democratic republic. In retelling that story, Havel was hoping to (and did) foreshadow a more modern Czechoslovakian revolution.
