1938

Late in the evening on 11 March 1938 a man sits in a Jewish bar in Vienna as the German army invades Austria. The other guests flee as does the owner but he remains to contemplate his past and his future - bleak though that may be. With this dramatic monologue Colyer has continued to do what he does so skilfully-to take a noteworthy piece of writing and adapt it freely to create something new which has the essence of the original but is a compelling stage work in its own right. British Theatre Guide. Freely adapted from Joseph Roth's novel The Emperor's Tomb.
