As the children grow up; their country is torn apart by invading armies; first Soviet and then Nazi. Internal grievances deepen as fervent nationalism develops; friends betray each other; violence escalates. Until these ordinary people carry out an extraordinary and monstrous act that darkly resonates to this day.Polish playwright; Tadeusz Slobodzianek; confronts his countryrsquo;s involvement in the atrocities of the last century and follows the one-time classmates ndash; amidst the weddings; parades; births; deaths; emigrations and reconciliations ndash; into the next.
