An English version of this play was successfully staged on Broadway in New York.

Reviews

"The creative team handles the pair of testimonials with delicacy, abstaining from manipulative embellishments in favor of raw depositions, allowing the simple yet haunting stories to radiate with unadulterated authenticity."

Hayley Levitt, TheaterMania

"Specifics give the story its power and its horror: the size of the boots that pinch Milos’s feet so badly that his toes start to fester, the frozen cabbages that Hana and other prisoners fight over during a forced march, the tulip bulbs that Milos eats, having mistaken them for onions."

Alexis Soloskiaug, The New York Times
