Read Lagerbordell on New Play Exchange.
Reading, Stage Door Players - 2018
“From the first reading, I recognized Lagerbordell as a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit under terrifying circumstances. Like the most effective theatre, it confronts vast moral and historical questions by focusing on specific individuals, their relationships, and their unique circumstances.”
Mira Hirsch - Founding Artistic Director, Jewish Theatre of the South
“What draws me to this piece is its unflinching interrogation of power—how it is seized, surrendered, and justified—and its insistence that we bear witness to the consequences of those dynamics. The world of Lagerbordell refuses distance or abstraction; it places both audience and artists inside systems of brutality, complicity, and survival that feel disturbingly resonant within our current political moment. The play asks not only who holds power, but who is deemed deserving of violence, protection, or erasure—questions that feel urgent and unavoidable.”
Kristin Storla - Intimacy and Fight Director
