The Garden Party written by Vaclav Havel, New Trans. by Jan Novak
This absurdist drama portrays a young chess fanatic propelled into the business world by his conservative father and neurotic mother,
only to be immersed into a live challenge of corporate checkmate.
The GARDEN PARTY, published in 1963, is Havel's first full-length play. It is characteristic of the humanist literary movement on the
rise in Prague.
Performing this play honors the man, Vaclav Havel, who recently celebrated his 70th birthday. He has led a full life: as a playwright, the
former Czech Republic President, a literary leader, and a social/political activist. His name and writings, banned by Communists in the
1970s, have become significant studies of the Czech oppression.
