'To portray the Holocaust, one has to create a work of art', says
Claude Lanzmann, the director of Shoah. However, can the Holocaust
be turned into theatre? Is it possible to portray on stage events
that, by their monstrosity, defy human comprehension? These are the
questions addressed by the playwrights and the scholars featured in
this book. Their essays present and analyse plays performed in
Israel, America, France, Italy, Poland and, of course, Germany. The
style of presentation ranges from docudramas to avant-garde
performances, from realistic impersonation of historical figures to
provocative and nightmarish spectacles. The book is illustrated
with original production photographs and some rare drawings and
documents; it also contains an important descriptive bibliography
of more than two hundred Holocaust plays.
