“I went home. My father was on the front lawn, kneeling down, looking at the grass…He asked me how school day was. I asked him how he liked it at Auschwitz.”
Rudi grew up in Paraguay, blissfully unaware of his father’s horrific actions during WWII. After discovering the devastating truth, he travels to Berlin in an attempt to start a new life and make up for the wrongs done before him. When he falls in love with a young woman who has secrets of her own, his past ultimately catches up with him. A crucial and intensely compelling story, East of Berlin is a gripping new work from one of our nation’s most talented young playwrights.
