Returning to Fringe following sell-out 2023 debut and London transfer. Based on the life of Simon Wiesenthal, who survived the Holocaust and devoted the rest of his life to bringing Nazi war criminals to justice. Filled with hope, humanity and humour, it is the story of an ordinary man who did extraordinary things. Intelligent, flawed and noble, Wiesenthal's heroism is honoured in this play which takes place on his final working day in his Vienna office in 2003. By Tom Dugan, performed by Christopher C Gibbs, directed by Mark Liebert. 'Impeccably conceived' ***** (Scotsman). 'Immaculately constructed' ***** (BroadwayBaby.com).

About the show

Wiesenthal is a solo play based on the life of Simon Wiesenthal, who survived the Holocaust and devoted the rest of his life to bringing Nazi war criminals to justice. The action takes place on his final working day in his Vienna office in 2003. Written by Tom Dugan, performed by Christopher C Gibbs and directed by Mark Liebert, the play portrays Wiesenthal as intelligent, flawed and noble — an ordinary man who did extraordinary things. The show returned to the Fringe following its debut and a subsequent London transfer.

Why see this show?

A humane, intelligent solo performance about one of the twentieth century's most compelling figures. The Vienna office setting — his final working day — gives the piece an intimate, elegiac focus that seems to suit the subject well.
