The Pig, or Václav Havel's Hunt for a Pig is the final work by Václav Havel, co-authored by Vladimír Morávek. The English translation is by Edward Einhorn . Originally a short dialogue from 1987 (entitled simply The Pig) and printed in a samizdat, the piece is a comic (and true) story of Václav Havel’s efforts to hold a pig roast for his friends.
In 2010, Morávek rediscovered the dialogue and decided to stage it. He began by giving lines to characters only mentioned in passing, but then made a more radical choice: he added sections from one of the most beloved Czech works, The Bartered Bride. This new version was the centerpiece of a theater festival in Brno that June.
The English translation was performed at the 3LD Art & Technology Center in New York as part of the Ohio Theater's Ice Factory [1] It was later published by Theater 61 Press.[2] It was remounted in 2014 at 3LD Art + Technology Center.[3]
The cast and production team of this play[4] consisted of the following:
