Wiesenthal, the acclaimed one-man play about the renowned Holocaust survivor turned Nazi hunter, makes its London debut at the King’s Head Theatre after its sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe.
The true story of an ordinary man who did extraordinary things.
Filled with hope, humanity and humour, Wiesenthal comes to the King’s Head Theatre following an acclaimed, sell-out Edinburgh season in 2023.
Wiesenthal is based on the life of Simon Wiesenthal (1908-2005), who survived the Holocaust and devoted the rest of his life to bringing Nazi war criminals to justice.
Intelligent, funny, flawed and noble, Wiesenthal was a universal hero. His unbelievable dedication and tenacity over decades is honoured in this play, which takes place on his final day in his Vienna office in 2003.
Tom Dugan‘s highly lauded one-man play is performed by Christopher C Gibbs and directed by Mark Liebert.
Following the 7pm performance on Monday 9 September 2024, I’ll talk to Wiesenthal‘s star and director about the remarkable man and how they brought his life and achievements to the stage. Any questions? Join us!
