Leaving, The Orange Tree Theatre, 19th September - 13th December
This play, an english language premiere by Vaclav Havel, a Czech playwright and former president of Czechoslovakia, concerns a Chancellor being removed from power, and the state villa that goes with it.
Only written in 2007 the play addresses the themes of the change and the transition of power from one generation to the next and is based largely on Shakespeare's King Lear and Chekov's The Cherry Orchard.
