A New Take on an Old Story
Rather than telling the story of the Holocaust during or after its events -- a familiar narrative -– a new play by Israeli author and playwright Iddo Netanyahu shows people navigating relationships and life in a Germany that has just elected Adolf Hitler. In A Happy End, the characters consider the question of whether to stay or go, letting the audience follow along with the benefit of hindsight. “It’s about how people don’t always comprehend the seriousness of the situation,” says Netanyahu, who wrote the play in three months for Italy's Holocaust Memorial Day in 2008.
