This is the story of a good man who becomes a Nazi — almost the reverse situation of Schindler’s List. It is a powerful and moving play — first produced by the RSC in 1981 — described by the author as “a tragedy which I have written as a comedy”: it is his response to the Holocaust. His play is not about criminals and psychopaths, but essentially decent people whose all too human weaknesses lead to complicity with the Final Solution.
