The Ice Front at Birmingham Festival Theatre

The Ice Front, written by Eric Samuelsen. Eric was an accredited playwright local in Utah before his untimely passing. The play tells the story of a group of actors who stage a rebellion at the Norwegian National Theatre at the height of World War II when the German occupation orders them to perform what Samuelsen describes as a blatantly, horrendously anti-Semitic play. The play is based on a true story, and its one close to Samuelsens heart.
