A Crack in the Wall at The Vortex Theatre

A CRACK IN THE WALL is a drama about two families, one Jewish and one Catholic, several weeks prior to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of April, 1943 in German-occupied Poland. The play's focal point is the unusual friendship between the son of one of the leaders of the impending Jewish revolt and the son of an anti-Semitic Catholic father; the latter's son is funneling guns to the Jews. The play represents the clash between blinding idealism and necessarily vigilant realism. But on the more human plane, the two characters clearly recognize the twirling horrors of their environment, while refusing to become victims of its terror. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was the largest single revolt by Jews during World War II.
