A Nazi leader on trial.  

A Jewish interpreter.  

An unforgettable story.

 

THE INTERPRETER

by Joseph Vitale

 

Inspired by actual events: the play imagines the complex relationship between Hermann Goering, the leading Nazi on trial for war crimes, and his interpreter, a 23-year-old Jewish U.S. Army private.

THERE'S SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT

The Interpreter raises issues of antisemitism, racism, and historical awareness of the Holocaust.

Thanks to a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, we have subject experts to help process the content of the play. Discussions begin five minutes after the show completes -- we hope you will join us.
