Oskar lives in the state hospital in Andernach, Germany. He keeps the other patients in order, sings opera and tends to a fine collection of plants in the conservatory. In the bleak winter of 1940, a dark visitor arrives. Two holes are dug in the ice of a frozen lake. Oskar has a decision to make... To live... or to die.
"There is irony in every word and gesture, every move and every moment shared by a company of five actors whose ensemble work speaks volumes about mutual trust and respect.
Theatre at its most powerful makes us more fully alive, more individual and yet more closely connected to each other. It can also shake the passivity that history proves can be so dangerous."
Val Javin, Huddersfield Examiner
