Two men arrive at Birkenau from different parts of Europe.
They are separated from their families upon arrival and thrown together by a barbaric selection process.
From this moment on we follow them through beatings, work, starvation and humiliation.
After they have been given inmate uniforms and assigned to a barrack we discover one of them, Moshe is Jewish and from Crete.
The other, Hirsch, is also Jewish and from Berlin. We watch as they form a friendship that cannot be broken, firstly by the brutality of the guards and ultimately by entrance to the gas chamber.
A totally brutal but genuinely harrowing and powerful story.
The performance is at 7.30pm and tickets cost £6. Call 01323 452255 or email:
