Summary
Written by a three time winner of the Yugoslav National Award for Best Play and the Cannes Film Festival Palme D'Or winner for Underground, The Professional has played to acclaim in 20 countries in 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. The relationship between the intellectual upstart and the former establishment's representative launches a universal exploration of self deception and self discovery, redemption and loss.
