"More readily understood than Spender's poems is this allegorical drama based on the situation in Nazi Germany. The Judge is faced with the problem of judgment on the murderers of a Polish Jew. He condemns them, and is in turn himself condemned. The various factions are there -- government, the people, the Communists, the Jews. A stirring and powerful arraignment of Nazi tyranny."

Spender was the theatre's literary director.CONDITION: Clean and unmarked, although many pages are unopened along the fore edge.
