Edinburgh Festival: Mirjam / Crawling from the Wreckage
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
One essential prop links these short plays exploring the post-war reintegration of female Auschwitz survivors: a cast-iron bed, where the women's experiences come back to them. Crawling from the Wreckage conveys the nightmare almost exclusively through monologues, which is perhaps why Mirjam is more successful: the actors say 'Remember me' in four different languages, but their silent chest-beating and pointing are far more eloquent.
Demarco's (venue 22), St Mary's School, Albany St (031-558 3371). 4.15pm to 3 Sept (not 21-28 Aug)
