In the decadent, politically explosive Bucharest of the 1930s and 40s, a young writer struggles to maintain his career, his integrity and his Jewish identity, even as his closest friends ally themselves with Fascism.

Based on the controversial journals, this epic one-man play spans eight tumultuous years and opens a uniquely personal window on the Romanian Holocaust and the Second World War

"Suspenseful" ~ NY Magazine

"A sinister tale, one well worth telling" ~ NY Sun

"A stop motion series of snapshotsA freshness that rejuvenates history's bitter truths" ~ Village Voice
