The Garden Party written by Vaclav Havel
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.
The Festival honors the man, Vaclav Havel, on 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. Ultimately driven from
power by Havel and other activists, the Communist Regime gave way to the Czech Republic, of which Vaclav
Havel became president in 1993 through his impact on the civic forum.
