AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

Lebensraum is based on the fanciful and explosive premise that a German Chancellor might, as an act of redemption, invite 6 million Jews to relocate to Germany with promises of citizenship and employment? This dramatic but daringly dark comic piece of theatre takes you from Boston to Bremerhaven, from Israel to Australia to Berlin. It explores the possibility of making restitution for the Holocaust. Would it or would it not be wise to do so? And will history repeat itself?

Theatrical and inventive in its storytelling, with three actors playing over 40 penetrating characters, Lebensraum is a story of love, economics, revenge, and forgiveness guaranteed to get you talking. 

Written by one of America's most celebrated contemporary and produced playwrights, Israel Horovitz, this production is part of the 70/70 Horovitz Project - a year-long world Festival celebrating Horovitz's 70th birthday with 70 of his plays.

Powerful and touching.  The New York Times
