In your quest for respectability I think we can say you have been
talking out of both corners of your mouth. One corner talks to your
rich backers, the other to your street-fighters. 1931. Hans Litten
is one of the most celebrated lawyers in Berlin, famed for his
brilliant mind and the rhetorical flair with which he defends those
fighting back against the rapidly growing Nazi movement. So, when
he calls Herr Hitler as star witness in the trial of a band of
murderous SA men, the politician feels the full force of Litten's
intellect, wit and courage. It arouses in Hitler a feeling he can't
abide or forget. Two years later, on the night of the Reichstag
fire, Litten is arrested. He is held without trial, beaten,
tortured, and threatened as 'an enemy of human society'. As Litten
disappears into the Nazi system, his indomitable mother, Irmgard,
confronts his captors and, at enormous personal risk, fights to
secure his release. This riveting drama by the writer of The Man
Who Crossed Hitler explores Irmgard's struggle, her son's
resistance, and the heroic battle of the weak against the powerful,
truth against lies and mothers against murderers. Taken At Midnight
received its world premiere on 26 September 2014 at the Minerva
Theatre, Chichester. This edition features an introduction by the
author.
