Children of the Wolf

Bells of Freedom

A hard-edged, pacey thriller examining the legacy of Fascism.

In his study at a provincial, German University, Professor Wolf Kruger awaits the arrival of Anya Rosenberg, a young Jewish researcher who claims to wish to interview him about his new book 'Children of The Wolf.' Outside, beneath Kruger's window Neo-Nazis rally, clashing in confrontation with left-wing opponents. As the conflict intensifies below his window, Kruger checks the war-time revolver in his desk. If Anya is who he thinks she is - he will have to use it!

As a game of cat and mouse begins, long buried bitter issues of tyranny and racial hatred begin to surface, reaching their climax in a soul-shattering conclusion.

This thirty-minute piece explores the wider impact of war on the human personality. Performed for National Holocaust Day January 2003 for Preston City Council, The AGM of Lancashire Wide Network for Minority Ethnic Women 2003 and as part of The Almelo International Cultural Festival, Holland (Twin Town) April 2004.
