“Horváth was telling the truth. Furiously.” - Shalom Auslander
“The most gifted writer of his generation.” - Stefan Zweig
A shocking allegorical evocation of life under fascism by Oscar-winning dramatist Christopher Hampton (Dangerous Liaisons, Atonement, The Son), Youth Without God is a chilling reminder that populist political rhetoric has consequences.
When a teacher reprimands a student for a racist comment, he stands accused of ‘sabotage of the Fatherland'. As events escalate, and a murder takes place, the teacher must decide whether to take a stand, even if it costs him everything.
In Youth Without God, written in exile having fled the Nazis, Horvath portrays a world of individual ruthlessness and collective numbness which is as relevant today as it was on its release in 1938.
A post-show talk will be held on Wednesday, 2 October.
Very well produced, and extremely layered!
The play was great (if a little obscure in parts) and the actors were outstanding. The venue is 1st class, very intimate and a warm, inviting ambiance, especially the bar!
Brilliant actors! Thank you so much for this piece
