Theatre Review: Last Train To Auschwitz

Written By: Mark Armstrong

Format: Play
Genre: Drama
Date: September 21 2017
Location: Epstein Theatre, Liverpool, England

Last Train To Auschwitz, which has just returned to Liverpool's Epstein Theatre, is on many occasions a harrowing, un-nerving and disturbing show to watch. And yet it is also extremely well-performed, bringing to life the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps in a way that few shows, films or television dramas have ever been able to achieve.

This is less a show and more a snapshot; almost like a recreation of events, rather than a presentation of highs and lows. Because the highs do not exist here; it is one low after another, as Last Train To Auschwitz focuses on a group of people whose lives have been drastically changed by the Nazi dictatorship led by Adolf Hitler, which has ultimately seen them transported by train to the most notorious concentration camp of them all in Auschwitz.
