The Last Days of Adam is a play based on the true story of Adam Czerniaków, head of the Warsaw Ghetto Judenrat during the Second World War.
Placed at the centre of an impossible system, Adam is a morally conflicted figure, torn between the desperate need to soften the worst excesses of Nazi rule and the constant danger of being used as a collaborator. As deportations increase and reports emerge of what happens to those Jews sent East, his position becomes ever more untenable.
Placed at the centre of an impossible system, Adam is a morally conflicted figure, torn between the desperate need to soften the worst excesses of Nazi rule and the constant danger of being used as a collaborator. As deportations increase and reports emerge of what happens to those Jews sent East, his position becomes ever more untenable.
The play follows Adam through meetings, orders and negotiations, as he tries to protect a trapped population with almost no power, and confronts the limits of compromise under a regime built on terror. Faced with the growing realisation of what is truly happening, he is forced towards a final, tragic decision.
The Last Days of Adam is a stark, intimate drama about responsibility, guilt and the crushing weight of history, for readers and performers interested in Holocaust theatre, moral conflict and the Warsaw Ghetto.
