Dusan Kovacevic
Written by a three-time winner of the Yugoslav National Award for Best Play of the Year and the 1995 Cannes Film Festival Palme D'Or winner for the screenplay of Underground, The Professional has played to acclaim in 20 countries and 10 languages. Set in a once powerful publishing house in post-communist Eastern Europe, it is the story of a man who walks into another's life knowing more about him than he knows himself. Should he be destroyed or saved? The impassioned relationship between the intellectual upstart and the representative of the former establishment launches a universal exploration of self-deception and self-discovery, redemption and loss. "Fascinating, ingenious, provocative. An intricate puzzle play whose pieces snap together with the satisfying click of a Rubik's cube."-N.Y Times. "WOW!"-N.Y Post. "Offers a wonderful sense of discovery, vivid theat
rical imagination and a profound sense of life's comic sadness. . . . A marvelous combination ofwhimsy, poignancy, and deep cynicism. "-N.Y. Daily News. "Magnificent . . . absurdist comedy with tragic overtones."-N.Y. Magazine.
