Play : A Friend Beyond The Fence
Eight-year-old Alex, the Son of a self-appointed Nazi officer, and Ethan, a Jewish boy of the same age, and Timbo, a baby elephant, are separated by a barbed wire fence in a concentration camp in Poland. The play revolves around a man who forgets the true nature of his family and enters into a deep friendship, resulting in gross injustice to them. The play is an inspired expansion of many fictional and real stories surrounding World War I, and attempts to portray the massacre of lives by the Nazi regime in Germany from the perspective of the minds of two innocent boys.
