Directed by Gerda Stevenson, and staring Gerry Mulgrew along with a cast of seven, this fast and funny production is being co-produced with Perth Theatre. The Memorandum won an Obie Award for Best Foreign Play and has been revived regularly around the world.

Bureaucracy gone mad. An artificial language is introduced into an organisation in order to streamline office communication. Result: a complete breakdown of human relationships. The unstoppable force of bureaucratic absurdity is captured in this lethally comic satire. The play may have grown out of Czech communism but the signs of madness revealed in Havel's masterpiece are instantly recognisable to all of us in everyday life.
