The Increased Difficulty of Concentration

In honor of his 70th birthday and upcoming two month residency at Columbia University, Untitled Theater Company #61 (Artistic Director Edward Einhorn) – the company that brought us the Ionesco Festival and recently the NEUROfest – presents all of the plays of Vaclav Havel in Havel Fest.

The Increased Difficulty of Concentration is a new translation by Stepan Simek, directed by Yolanda Hawkins, produced by True Comedy Theater. A troubled social scientist and writer has a life that’s fragmenting around him. His life goes round and round, repeating itself until he barely knows where he is or who is his current lover, as he struggles inside a metaphysical French farce.
