Drowned Or Saved?

Drowned or Saved? is a theatrical portrait of Primo Levi, who survived Auschwitz and went on to have extremely successful careers both as chemist and writer. The play is set on the day he died, and it imagines an encounter with the prophet Elijah. This is understandably distressing to Primo, who was a lifelong atheist. As the play unfolds, Elijah takes him through a series of memories and fantasies. Primo is brought face to face with what it means to have survived, and to have spent a lifetime bearing witness.

We will be presenting a semi staged production of this piece of new writing to commerorate Holocaust Memorial Day.



Theatre Company Reviews:

“When is a person able to say ‘this much is too much, I cannot continue with this bout of unhappiness’?”

“Never. ‘Tomorrow’ meant never. Talk about living in the moment.”
