The Theatre of the Holocaust: Its Past and Future
This essay presents an overview of the theatrical contributions to understanding and responding to the Holocaust based on the generation-long experience of one author/critic/director, and speculates upon the ways that playwrights can most effectively address the question of how the theatre of the Holocaust will proceed in the future.

The Theatre of Genocide: Four Plays about Mass Murder in Rwanda, Bosnia, Cambodia, and Armenia

Directing the Holocaust Play
The imaginative literature of the Holocaust, especially the drama, presents special problems to its interpreters. Among the greatest of these problems is the need to respect the Holocaust experience and the memory of the millions slain while, at the same time, allowing viewers to assimilate the awful and awesome implications of that experience.
