Irena's Vow at Powerstories Theatre

Irena’s Vow by Dan Gordon is a compelling drama that tells the true story of Irena Gut Opdyke, a courageous Polish woman who risked her life during World War II to save Jewish refugees. Set in Nazi-occupied Poland, the play explores Irena’s remarkable journey as she hides and protects a group of Jews in the basement of a German officer’s home where she works as a housekeeper. This gripping and emotionally charged story highlights themes of bravery, compassion, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity. Irena’s Vow is a testament to the extraordinary acts of heroism that can emerge from the darkest moments in history.

Opening night features a special VIP reception for up to 50 ticketholders. Enjoy the delicious offerings from Campbell River Cheese and Charcuterie, and toast to the upcoming performance. Following the reception, ticketholders will join us in the theatre for the presentation of “Irena’s Vow.”
