Nossig’s Antics by Lazarre Seymour Simckes, author of Seven Days of Mourning and Ten Best Maryrs of the Year, introduces us to the enigmatic life and death of Alfred Nossig, a Polish-Jewish playwright, poet, sculptor, philosopher and Zionist advocate who, in 1943, just shy of his 80th birthday, was assassinated by the Jewish Underground in the Warsaw ghetto as a suspected Nazi collaborator. Simckes turns the complex question of Nossig’s guilt, and with it European Jewish history, into a hilarious quest, conducted by a young man who may or may not be Nossig himself, for identity and truth. Crystal Field directs.
Appropriate for audiences 10 and up.
