 Based on actual events during World War II, this truly searing play tells the story of the Sonderkommando, a small group of Hungarian Jews imprisoned at Auchwitz/Birkenau, and their only chance at salvation in the midst of a daring uprising that could save thousands.

PLEASE NOTE : This play contains adult language and subject matter. 

WHAT CRITICS SAID ABOUT "THE GREY ZONE":
"Director Brian Weed and his design team use Deaf West Theatre's cavernous black box space to create a claustrophobic, monochromatic world drained of human feeling. Strong design and several effectively understated performances make this "Zone" a memorably disturbing world. RECOMMENDED"
-LA Times

 


"GO! Director Brian C. Weed provides excruciating tension from beginning to end... [and] superbly handles the technical elements..."
-LA Weekly

 
"Superbly realistic, tough-minded performances by all, under Brian C. Weed's sharp, edgy direction..."
-Backstage West

"The audience was completely mesmerized after Act I, and even more so at the end of the play."
-Reviewplays.com

 
"Featuring a superb ensemble... perhaps one of the most challenging pieces of theatre you're likely to witness."
-The Tolucan Times
