4.0 out of 5 stars Good writing-absurdist short comedic plays April 20, 2013

By Martin Perelstein

Format:Paperback

Good writing. Havel is very intelligent and compassionate and his plays reflect that. His work does require some reading about the censorship of communist Chekeslovakia. But once you more fully understand, you understand why he received the nobel peace prize.

3.0 out of 5 stars Do you enjoy theatre of the absurd? December 21, 2012

By T. E. Axe

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

If so you will enjoy these plays that combine political commentary with dry humor. The author's story is also interesting.
