By Lillian Hellman
Told in compelling, human terms, the play is an eloquent and stirring tribute to the brave men and women who, despite all odds, struggled early on to stem the tide of fascism which was soon to spread throughout Europe and the world. A powerful and moving play by one of our most celebrated writers. A great success in both New York and London when first produced and when revived on Broadway.
