SYNOPSIS
One of the most widely produced new plays, And Then They Came
for Me is a unique theatrical experience: a multimedia play that
combines videotaped interviews with Holocaust survivors Ed
Silverberg and Eva Schloss with live actors recreating scenes from
their lives during World War II. Ed was Anne Frank's first boyfriend,
and she wrote about him in the beginning of her now-famous diary.
Eva Schloss was the same age as Anne Frank and lived in the same
apartment building in Amsterdam. Her family went into hiding the
same day as the Frank family. And like the Frank family, they were
betrayed. On Eva's 15th birthday, her family was arrested by the
Nazis and sent to concentration camps. Eva and her mother
survived, and after the war her mother married Otto Frank (Anne's
father). Part oral history, part dramatic action, part direct address,
part remembrance, the ensemble-driven And Then They Came for Me
breaks new ground and has been acclaimed by audiences and critics
in productions across the globe.
"This production is like a historic newsreel brought to life on the
stage. And it works." (Charles Epstein, WICR Radio, Indianapolis)
