Description
In 1987, John Demjanjuk was accused of being the Ivan the Terrible of the Nazi extermination camp, Treblinka, brought to trial in Jerusalem and sentenced to hang. The Trials probes the nature of guilt, the need for retribution, and the lessons still to be learned today from the Holocaust. Inspired by the great political theatre of Bertolt Brecht, the play features music co-composed by Christine Brubaker and Dora Mavor Moore award-winner Allen Cole.
