Celebrating the life and art of Václav Havel
New York City, October through December 2006

Week four

November 20 through 26

The festival has generated tremendous excitement audience members have traveled from as far away as San Diego and Australia to see the plays. This is the last week of performances at the Brick and Ohio and your last chance to see the 14 plays in rep.

President Havel attended a perfomance of Temptation at the Brick Theater on Friday to celebrate the anniversary of the Velvet Revolution.

Following a performance, Uncle Moon played music from The Velvet Underground and Nico (aka, The Banana Album). If you missed it, they will be playing the complete album (with special guest Michelle Shocked singing the Nico songs) at our closing event, at Joe's Pub on December 4 at 9:30. Buy tickets. Note: Tickets to this event are not included with a festival pass.
