$65 tickets for all performances!* Use code MJH65
Polonsky Shakespeare Center, 262 Ashland Place, Brooklyn, NY

In an acclaimed solo performance, Oscar nominee and Emmy-winner David Strathairn makes his Theater For A New Audience debut portraying the Polish World War II hero and Holocaust witness Jan Karski, who risked his life to carry his report of the Warsaw ghetto from war-torn Poland to the Allied Nations and the Oval Office only to be disbelieved. Strathairn captures the remarkable life of this self-described “insignificant, little man” and his story of moral courage and individual responsibility.

David Strathairn and members of the creative team of Remember This will participate in 20-minute post-show talkbacks at select performances. In addition, Theatre for a New Audience will offer post-performance talks with Bianca Vivion Brooks and other moderators. Check the calendar for details.

*Offer expires 9/15/22. Subject to availability and seat location. All internet and phone orders are subject to handling fee. The offer may be discontinued at any time. Not valid for previous purchases. All sales are final, no refunds.
