Vaněk plays
The Vaněk Plays use are a set of plays in which the character Ferdinand Vaněk is a main character. Vaněk first appeared in the play ''Audience'' by Václav Havel. He subsequently appeared in three other Havel plays (''Protest'', ''Unveiling'', and ''Dozens of Cousins''), as well as plays by his friends and colleagues, including Pavel Landovský and Tom Stoppard.
==Origins==
Ferdinand Vaněk first appeared in the play ''Audience'' in 1975 as a stand-in for Havel. Vaněk, like Havel, was a dissident playwright, forced to work in a brewery because his writing has been banned by the Czechoslovak Communist regime. In the course of the play, it become clear that the brewmaster has been asked to spy on him. A long, rambling, comic dialogue proceeds, in the course of which the brewmaster eventually becomes a sympathetic figure, rather than a villain.
Since Havel's work was banned, the play was not performed in any theater. Instead, it was performed in living rooms and as samizdat. However, the work became quite well known in the Czech Republic despite that.〔(The Vaněk Plays | Introduction )〕
Subsequent to 'Audience', Havel used Vaněk in the plays ''Unveiling'', a comic one-act about a couple who desperately want Vaněk to absolve them for their collaborative relationship with the Communist regime, and ''Protest'', in which Vaněk tries to convince an old colleague to sign a protest letter.
