The Memo

The Memo

The Greenhouse Theater Center
2257 N Lincoln Avenue Chicago

This Orwellian farce about language, bureaucracies and surveillance takes place at the surprisingly real and relevant intersection of Monty Python, The Office and 1984. The Memo follows Gross, a harassed managing director who unwittingly authorizes an experiment that will introduce an incomprehensible artificial language in an absurd attempt to increase efficiency. Playwright Vaclav Havel explores the self-deluding rationalizations and moral compromises that characterize life under a totalitarian political system, or everyday office life. Enjoy The Memo at Chicago's Greenhouse Theater Center.
