Featured Play
NOT EVEN A GROWN-UP
A family of Polish Jews, the Urmans – including physician Izydor, his wife Sofie, and their nine-year-old son, Jerzyk – struggle to survive under Nazi occupation, from 1941-43. Based on published diaries and testimony, the play dramatises a unique, but little-known, true story from the Holocaust. Its rehearsed reading for an invited audience at JW3, London, featured Ben Caplan and Tricia Kelly.
