Synopsis
In the writer Ferdinand Vanek, the character common to all three of these one-act plays, Vaclav Havel has probably come closest to creating a personal dramatic alter ego.
In "Protest", Vanek meets a successful fellow-writer, "Audience" is set in a brewery, and he is a dinner guest in "Unveiling".
