Reunion is a one-man show performed by Daniel Reardon adapted for the stage for the first time by Ronan Wilmot, from the autobiographical novella by Fred Uhlman. This is a story of two sixteen year old boys and their time together in the early 1930s at Karl Alexander Gymnasium in Stuttgart, as narrated 40 years later by Hans Schwartz, a now successful German-American Jewish lawyer. Having been asked to contribute to a memorial to his former classmates who died during the Second World War, Hans revists the story of his school friendship in the early days of Hitler’s rise and growing anti-semitism. This is a nice play, with a story that grips you and a poignant and surprising end. Good for people who like history; the Holocaust; mis-lit; or just a good story, told well. And if you haven’t been before, the New Theatre is a great theatre experience. Reunion … There’s more →
