Infused with gentle irony, a bold cabaret-style musical reveals the dramatic genius, the persecuted dissident, the man of truth and ideals, but also a lover of good beer and pretty women all hidden behind the celebrated facade. Stylised live music combines with strikingly contemporary ideas from Havel’s literary legacy in a playful contemporary musical presenting at full throttle. One man’s daily struggle for truth and ideals while stripping bare his fears and revealing his loves and all that was so deeply human about him.
