Václav Havel: Protest

To sign or not to sign? A play about a tough question with an even tougher answer. A one-act play about a persistent dilemma, a fiendish question that characterises the playwright’s oeuvre. Out of uncertainty, out of a feeling of distress, out of fear of what tomorrow will bring, we lose the courage to fight for something. Staňek’s thinking aloud about whether or not to stand up for the arrested singer-songwriter and his future son-in-law is one of the greatest dialogues ever written by Václav Havel.
