‘Memorandum’, a black comedy by Czech philosopher, politician and playwright Vaclav Havel, is very much in the tradition of the Theatre of the Absurd, alongside the works of Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, John Osborne and many European writers. In this style of theatre, anything can happen, often without any rhyme or reason.
Emma Rucastle’s wonderfully imaginative production has silently and neatly updated some details of the office environment (no typewriters, comptometers or stenographs visible) and used the ample, resonant space of Lancaster Library to fine effect. Diction, gesture, body language and blocking were all first class. In short, a timely, moral triumph.
