See it if U really like Tabori's work & curious about the English version but be ready to suffer through a bad play that is misrepresented as satire.

Don't see it if U want an intelligently presented play that is focused & clear. U get annoyed with 2nd rate German translation that missed all the satire!

The fact that the Holocaust seemed so recent to them with background audio of Third Reich ravings & war crime trials are too outdated for 2017.

The constant telling of dark Holocaust atrocities & meaness inflicted by Neo-Nazi youth by these characters even when narrated by the sweet disabled female lead Mitzi did not succeed in its intentions to move.
