COMPANY PRESENTS
JUDENFREI
Love and death in
Hitler’s Germany
by
Kate Glover
Directed
by Tom Scott
THE
PLOT: The
passionate love story and the desperate dilemma of Hanna and Philipp, two gifted
young lawyers. Their problem? They
just happen to be Jews in thirties
Berlin
.
Soon they find that they are banned from practising their profession. The
situation becomes more menacing. As the woman, Hanna is in the greater danger.
Philipp offers her a way out - just
one visa to
Cuba
where he has family. Her mother and
sister pile on the guilt and she refuses the chance to flee. Then one night
Philipp receives a mysterious telephone call from a total stranger.
Is it a coded warning? His
decision that night will change all their lives.
THE
INSPIRATION: The
play was written by Kate Glover, in response to the moving exhibition - LAWYERS
WITHOUT RIGHTS – mounted under the auspices of the Jewish Museum, the
Temple
Church
and the German Federal Bar in the
Temple
Church
last June. Kate took two of the case
studies and wove their stories into a narrative spanning the play.
