Vaclav Havel's latest play published

Former Czech president Vaclav Havel presented his latest play Odchazeni (The Leaving) in book form at a Prague theatre on Wednesday. Mr Havel said the story of a man leaving a high-ranking position had nothing to do with his own departure as Czech president in 2003, as he had started to write it in the 1980s. Vaclav Havel's play is to premiere at Prague's Na Vinohradech theatre in late May or early June with his wife Dagmar Havlova starring in one of the leading roles.
