✦ Synopsis

"The first critical examination of youth-focused plays and performances about the Holocaust, this volume considers works by young authors as well as pieces taken from the diaries and memoirs of children and adolescents who experienced the Holocaust. While youth-focused plays about the Holocaust have been in the repertories of top professional companies throughout the world for decades and are often performed in theatres, schools and community centers, they are frequently neglected in studies of Holocaust theatre. Hughes fills this gap by examining plays, musicals, performances, scripts, performative museum installations and pedagogically-focused works of applied theatre for young audiences"--
