A Happy End
Iddo Netanyahu
As a teenager, Rudi discovers that his father was a doctor at Auschwitz.
Questioning redemption, love, guilt and the sins of the father, East of Berlin follows Rudi’s emotional upheaval as he comes to terms with a frightening past that was never his own.
"The astonishing thing about Moscovitch’s play is how funny it is. She’s not afraid to plunge right through areas that others might consider poor taste in order to come out the other side in search of a deeper truth. And the way she also keeps an undercurrent of eroticism bubbling beneath the play is both disquieting and stimulating. With its cast of three, timeless theme and skilled writing, East of Berlin could easily have a life in theaters around the world."

"Just over 90 minutes, but it packs more of a punch than many three-hour epics I’ve sat through… If I told you that Moscovitch was writing about the children of Nazis and how they cope with their parents’ heinous legacy, you might think that you’ve heard all this before. But you’d be wrong. Her examination of the relationship between the children of victims of the Holocaust and the children of those who victimized them is astonishingly complex, as well as sexy, funny and suspenseful."
