Scene: The living-room of the Gerbachs' flat in Berlin, 1938
Production by Howard Rose
Matters are not minced in this stirring and tragic story. The treatment of Jews under the Nazi government has been sternly cruel in many individual cases, and this play might well be said to represent a typically tragic cast.
Concentration camps and suicides may not make bright listening, but it is unlikely that many listeners will remain unmoved by this tragic, dramatic statement.
