RFT Spring Readings: Vanek 2026 (Belarus, Czechia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, USA)
June 1 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
A series of newly commissioned short plays using Václav Havel’s character, Ferdinand Vaněk (or his relatives and descendants) and placing them in modern scenarios, imaging them in the world of today. Vanek was based on Havel himself but because a symbol of the dissident movement in Czechoslovakia. He has been used by multiple playwrights, including Tom Stoppard. This year, we have reached out to past collaborators to continue Havel’s legacy, in the year of his 90th birthday.
