The Van #283;k Plays are perhaps Václav Havel's best-known works, and the character Van #283;k became a symbol for Czechoslovak dissidents during the Communist era. In the plays, Audience, Protest, and Unveiling, Van #283;k encounters people trapped by the moral dilemmas inherent in a Communist system. Also included is Havel's modern sequel, the previously unpublished Dozens of Cousins. All translated by Jan Novak. Part of the Havel Collection, a series of new translations of the work of Václav Havel, from Theater 61 Press.
