Hannah Moscovitch

Hannah Moscovitch, Toronto, East of Berlin.
(Playwrights Canada Press; distributed by the publisher) (ISBN 978-0-88754-849-9)

Hannah Moscovitch's East of Berlin is part mystery, part story of redemption. The play travels from a middle class home in Paraguay to the libraries of Germany as young Rudi tries to find out the truth about his father's wartime past. Emotional, suspenseful and skillfully written, East of Berlin shows how the past never really leaves us.
