Samizdat: Play #1
Audience
By Vaclev Havel
March 26-29, 2026
Location: ███████████, Pittsburgh, PA

Over Pilsner and paperwork, a blacklisted Czech playwright confronts a proposition that could entangle him in the very system he resists.
Bricolage presents Samizdat (Banned Materials): three plays, three months, in hidden locations known only to ticket buyers. Staged in the intimate, immersive style of Living Room Theatre, each performance is a clandestine adventure—provocative, thrilling, and entirely unforgettable.

The locations are secret. The stories are prescient. Seating is extremely limited. Secure your ticket and more will be revealed.

FAQ

1. Why am I receiving the notice "we are not able to price all your tickets" when I try to buy tickets to Samizdat? 

Ticket availability at each tier is limited. When a performance is sold out you will see that message when reviewing your order. Try another date or wait for the next tier of tickets to drop.

2. Why are tickets so limited?

All Samizdat venues are purposefully secret and intimate. Inspired by the underground apartment performances of Soviet-era dissidents—who staged banned works in private homes and circulated recordings to evade censorship—this “living room theatre” tradition honors art that survives by staying just out of reach.

3. Why can't I know the location of the performances?

In the spirit of Samizdat, the address is shared quietly, hand to hand. Ticket holders receive precise location and arrival instructions the week of the show. Until then, sit with the secrecy.
