This play combines elements of realism with a mysterious past that manifests itself in the present, and changes the lives of three women who thought the past was not part of the present. Set simultaneously in Hitler's Germany and contemporary England, it tells the story of a woman who left Germany as a child on the kindertransport, but was never rejoined by her parents. As time passes, she becomes more English, doing her best to forget her German past, but never able to let go fully, until one day her daughter discovers that her mother is not exactly who she thought. The clash of cultures and generations mingles with the tragedy of the Holocaust to generate a truly moving, well written work. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

A modern classic about one woman's struggle to come to terms with her past. Brutally separated from her German Jewish parents at the age of nine, Eva is brought to England with the promise of a new life... Between 1939 until the outbreak of World War II, nearly 10,000 Jewish children were taken from their families in Nazi-occupied Germany and sent to live with foster families in Britain. Diane Samuels' seminal play, Kindertransport, imagines the fate of one such child. Now widely considered a modern classic, Kindertransport has been read and studied the world over. Kindertransport won the 1992 Verity Bargate Award and was subsequently staged by the Soho Theatre Company at the Cockpit Theatre in London in 1993. It also won the Meyer-Whitworth Award in 1993. Since its premiere the play has been revived several times. Watford Palace Theatre staged it in 1996, in a production that transferred to the West End. Renowned theatre company Shared Experience also revived the play to great acclaim for a regional tour in 2007. This edition includes several personal memoirs by German-born children whose lives were saved, and transformed, by the Kindertransport. Also available: Diane Samuels' Kindertransport: The author's guide to the play, invaluable for anyone studying, teaching or performing the play. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
