Thirty-Minute Theatre: Reparation

on BBC Two England

by Robert Lamb
with Sydney Tafler as Hans, Irene Prador as Liesel, John Woodvine as Schweiler

A Jewish couple wait for a German Appeal Court to hear their claim for compensation for their suffering and loss of property at the hands of the Nazis. To them the case is straightforward and just, until an official raises certain doubts...

"'Reparation' was a typical example of the economic use of this very varied selection of short dramas" (Daily Express)
"...it was a vivid little play which created much dramatic energy out of its central idea" (Daily Mail)
"...the author, Robert Lamb, had packed into 30 minutes an extraordinarily comprehensive debate" (Sunday Telegraph)
"'Reparation' managed to say a great deal within its short span" (Sunday Observer)
