The Last Days of Adam: The True Story of Adam Czerniakow (2015) Based on the true story of Adam Czerniakow, head of the Warsaw Ghetto Judenrat, during World War Two. Adam is a morally conflicted figure torn between between the need to ameliorate the worse excesses of the Nazi's and the danger of being manipulated into becoming a collaborator. Faced with the growing realisation of what happens to those Jews sent 'East' Adam is forced to make a final tragic decision.

       'Effectively brings us emotionally to the story which we know will only get worse for Adam and the Jews of Europe...   Extremely well written... it engages us well in moral questions... Excellent the way Tim Dalgleish united the historical with the emotional within a short play - very effective.'

                                                                             'Reader's Favorite'
                                                                              Five Star review

        'The set was itself a tour de force...  An excellent performance... from a company that needs no encouragement ... an inspired cast'
