This beautiful play new play by Luc Albinski, opens on the 28th January at Theatre on the Square. It is a tribute to the noble deeds of his mother. During World War II, she fought to save lives in the Warsaw Ghetto.
As the writer describes it:
“This is not a play… it is a hymn for those who healed others while bleeding unseen; a love song to the stubborn souls who chose duty over self. Nobody Told Me is a requiem of laughter and gunpowder, where devotion and delirium dance beneath the shadow of barbed wire. Halina, physician, mother and an unwilling saint, clings to her white coat as if it were a second skin, even as the world begs her to shed it.
While the doctor-mother fights to save lives in the Warsaw Ghetto, her daughter fights to stay by her side; friends argue over faith, duty and survival. Love, betrayal, humour and horror are in the same room. When humanity is outlawed – who dares remain human?”
Directed by Ilina Perianov from Bulgaria, the production has a unique style combining post-Brechtian conventions and physical theatre to tell its story. The set is designed by Wilhelm Disbergen, choreography by Vicky Friedman and music composed by Jeanne Zaidel-Rudoph.
