by Manfred Karge, translated by Anthony Vivis
"What lengths would you go to to put the next meal on the table?
As
the Nazis come to power in Germany, a young widow discovers that her
only means of survival is to take on her dead husband’s job and with it
his identity. Her struggle to maintain this extraordinary deception for
over forty years forms the focus of this hauntingly poetic and utterly
gripping one-woman tour-de-force.
This is a rare British
production of Manfred Karge’s enthralling play that premièred at the
Traverse in 1987, catapulting Tilda Swinton to fame."
