“A remarkable piece of verbatim theatre!”
Yorkshire Evening Post
“An unbearably explicit story you will remember long after you leave the theatre.”
The Jewish Telegraph
Story:
This is the story of two people who went through the same places and experienced similar tragedies – and yet they never met. The pathes of their lifes crossed each other but also passed each other. Athlete Milos Dobry and actress Hana Pravda spent their working lives building suspense, knocking crowds into submission and drawing gasps from their onlookers. Both survived Auschwitz and witnessed murder first hand. Did they both have exceptional strength of character and an iron will or was their survival just good luck. A remarkable piece of verbatim theatre, The Good and the True weaves the true testimonies of two extraordinary people in an English adaptation, translated from the award-winning production Shoah and directed by Daniel Hrbek for the Svandovo Theatre, Prague. Actress Isobel Pravda is the granddaughter of survivor Hana Pravda and plays her grandmother for the first time on stage. Actor Saul Reichlin is an award-winning actor whose own one-man play Shalom Alechem has been performed in the West End, Broadway and most major European Countries.
