- Professional_Foul abstract "Professional Foul is a play written by Czech-born, British playwright Tom Stoppard. It was first published in 1977 and was filmed for BBC television and broadcast in September of the same year.The play is set in Prague and follows the character of Professor Anderson, a Cambridge don, on a weekend visit to a philosophical colloquium. What should be a fairly uneventful trip is complicated by the intervention of the Communist government, leading to an ethical dilemma for the professor of philosophy, a situations explored by Stoppard through the opinions of several characters.The play was written to coincide with Amnesty International's "Prisoners of Conscience Year" and is dedicated to Czech playwright and then political activist Václav Havel whom Stoppard has cited as an influence on his writing. The date of publication and broadcast is also significant in that 1977 was the year in which the Charter 77 movement in Czechoslovakia presented the government with a formal protest against its violations of the Helsinki Accords. Havel would later go on to be the President of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic.Owing to its television broadcast and Stoppard's desire to convey his anti-totalitarian message to the largest audience possible, Professional Foul is less structurally and linguistically complex than some of his other works, though various examples of word play and philosophical language appear in the play. Stoppard would return to the theme of resistance against the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in the plays Dogg's Hamlet, Cahoot's Macbeth and Rock 'n' Roll.Through the piece's 16 scenes the action almost exclusively revolves around Anderson with only one brief scene not involving the character, a marked change of emphasis from Stoppard's earlier works.The play is published by Faber and Faber alongside another of Stoppard's plays, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour.".
