Inconnu à cette Adresse

Superb transposition of Kressman Taylor's book for the theatre. We follow the exchange of correspondence between an American Jew living in San Francisco and a German in Munich against the background of the rise of Nazism in 1933. There are only two actors, each sitting at his desk whildt he writes to the other.

There was only one problem: as we were sitting in the wings, we could only see one of the desks and in fact didn't get to see the other actor until the curtain call at the end! Thus, although we heard all of the play we only saw half of it.
