    Der Stein (“The Stone”)

    1934. A Jewish family has to sell its house in Dresden. It is a transaction that will not make anyone happy. The residents of the house also change as political systems come and go. The play traces intertwined lifelines through into the 1990s. It is centred around the mother and daughter of the family that purchased the house in dubious circumstances during the 1930s. More ...
