Courtyard Theatre, London N1
I cannot remember many works that serve as such vivid testimony to the horrors of Auschwitz. For its debut, theatre company Robert Pryce & Co is staging the first UK performance of this eyewitness play by French resistance fighter Charlotte Delbo who was sent to the camp in 1943. As significant as the testimony, performed here in Natasha Pryce’s courageous production by a committed, 15-strong all-female cast, is that Delbo was a non-Jew whose account destroys revisionist notions of the Holocaust as a Jewish lie. Delbo’s word should be heard.
