A heavy watch!

Culture Calendar Members found Leopoldstadt, from National Theatre Live to be a heavy watch.

It a play about the Jewish Community in Vienna. A Jewish community in hiding during the war, and in hiding in an attempt to avoid what was to become their fate … Auschwitz.

It was a very powerful performance, from what was to be multiple generations living in one room, until one day, there comes a hard knock at the door.

An unapologetic General issuing a notice to say “you will pack one small suitcase and leave your family home tomorrow before noon” A Play brilliantly acted, but a very difficult storyline told.

Written by Tom Stoppard, who lost both sets of Grandparents to Nazi Concentration Camps.

Culture Calendar always recommends to watch out for National Theatre Live Productions at your local cinema too! Less cost if you’re unable to catch the live performance, and National Theatre Live at the Cinema is the next best thing to being able to see a play live.
