Sense of Decency
Directed by: David Ellenstein
Co-Directed by: Jake Broder
Featuring: Frank Corrado, Brendan Ford, and Lucy Davenport
Jake Broder has crafted a surprise-filled exploration into what makes us tick. A psychological thriller filled with unexpected revelations, magic, and insight. A World Premiere theatrical foray into this historical meeting promises intrigue and theatrical sparks. When WWII ended, the Nuremburg trials were underway. Herman Göring was the highest-ranking Nazi alive. An American Army psychiatrist was tasked with interviewing him extensively and keeping him fit for trial. What happened in that fateful room had profound and unexpected consequences for both men. Dramatic gold.
The play has a fascinating backstory, strong performances and frightening relevance to America’s contemporary political and social media landscape. A dark, well-acted psycho-thriller.
