19 September 2010 – The Interview and Moira Benson

“The Interview” is a new play about the Holocaust, which played two nights at Leeds Town Hall in June and will now play three nights at Bradford Playhouse 18-20 November. It has had very enthusiastic reviews, and a tour is planned next year. It tells the whole story of the Holocaust from Hitler’s inauguration as Chancellor to the Liberation of Auschwitz through the lifestory of one person, and whilst doing so debates the causes of genocide and what can be done to prevent it.
Don’t come just to see me – I have only a small part, but do come to see a challenging, gripping, heartbreaking play about issues which concern us all.
 
And then I will be performing “Moira Benson” a monologue by Helen Crawford on two occasions. Saturday 9th October 9.15pm at Ilkley Playhouse as part of the Ilkley Literature Festival, and again at Midget Gems Upstairs at the Carriageworks in Leeds on Saturday 23 October at 7.45pm.
 
I hope to see you there.
