VELVET and IRON

LSE Language Centre, in collaboration with LSE SU Drama Society, presents an evening of drama comprising a rare work written by a playwright turned politician, Vaclav Havel. His play Leaving was the first theatre-piece he wrote immediately after leaving office as President of the Czech Republic. The performance will be preceded by a documentary footage and a panel discussion of the events of 1989-1991 in Eastern Europe.

This event is taking place as part of the Fringe.
