  • Beth Kander: The Hunt for Benedetto Montone

    A challenging, intelligent play that explores the nuance and intricacies of family, friendship, and difficult choices made in the midst of war. The "regular folks" and "bystanders" trying to survive against the backdrop of genocide lends a quiet power to this insightful piece of theatre.
