Review | “The Memo” at Organic Theater Company Pictured: Tricia Rogers | Photo by Anna Gelman. If you have ever read or seen “The Memo,” a production currently running at Organic Theater, you’d know you are going in for a long intellectual satire written by the only playwright who also became a president. Václav Havel, responsible for the dismantling of the Warsaw Pact, the Velvet Revolution and subsequently becoming the last president of former Czechoslovakia and first president of the post-split Czech Republic, was an essayist and dramatist before his political career. It’s quite the miracle that any of his plays passed Communist censorship.
