About This Show
The Theatre Lab School of the Dramatic Arts is co-producing a series of staged readings with Theater J during the month of July. The readings presented are from the Born Guilty Cycle, a trilogy by Theater J Artistic Director and playwright Ari Roth.
Roth has revised three of his scripts for the readings: Giant Shadows, an early unpublished work; Born Guilty, based on the book by Peter Sichrovsky, which dramatizes the dialogues between a child of Holocaust survivors and the families of Austrian and German perpetrators; and Born Guilty’s sequel, The Wolf in Peter. The three play series explores the drama of being second generation (the generation born after World War II and now carrying the moral legacy of the Third Reich) in the shadow of the Holocaust with insight and humor.
