Performances, In 2016

Of all the films and plays that have been done on World War II, it is the untold stories that we rarely glimpse or have a chance to understand. These are the acts of survival and heroism that came from everyday people in the midst of war. Though they played a role in the ultimate outcome of the world, many who committed outrageous acts of love and bravery were buried beneath the clamor and the din of the world’s most calamitous uprising. Yet, without them, the world might not be what it is today. We are the survivors of their grace.

Unknown Heroes somehow taps into the seemingly unreachable yet collective memory of humankind to realistically portray in fiction what was so often true in fact. For every act of evil, there is a greater good within us. This theatrical production takes you there, into the play of dark and light in a way you have never seen before. It is a play of what was, of people fighting for what could be, of staving off what must never be. It is an eternal play in which we all play a part. It is a play of us. Don’t miss it.
