Popis:	This essay presents an overview of the theatrical contributions to understanding and responding to the Holocaust based on the generation-long experience of one author/critic/director, and speculates upon the ways that playwrights can most effectively address the question of how the theatre of the Holocaust will proceed in the future. After reviewing the ways traditional theatre is often in conflict with more experimental forms, the author focuses on two crucial concerns of theatre practice (the possibility for hope and the creation of empathy) and provides an example of the kind of theatre that exemplifies the ways that the theatre can be most effective and successful in confronting the Shoah.
