The Memorandum
Theatre
Description
Description
A bureau director receives an incomprehensible memo written in “Ptydepe”, a new language invented by the government to ensure terms are so precisely defined that documents are error-free. In pursuit of an official translation of the memo, the director runs into a series of crises that spiral further and further into absurdity… Czech playwright Václav Havel was one of the key thinkers and leaders of the Velvet Revolution in 1989. He went on to become Czechoslovakia’s last president and the democratic Czech Republic’s first president following the division of the country in 1993. The Memorandum, also known as The Memo, is one of Havel’s most representative plays, using ironic humour to incisive effect in a brilliantly sharp satire of authoritarian bureaucracies and their word games.
