Shakespeare Theater Company in Chicago, IL has resumed the presentations of Remember This: The Lesson of Jan Karski.
In a tour-de-force solo performance, Academy Award nominee David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck; Nomadland) portrays World War II hero and Holocaust witness Jan Karski, a messenger of truth who risked his life to carry his harrowing report from war-torn Poland to the White House, only to be disbelieved. Standing tall in the halls of power, Strathairn captures the remarkable life of this self-described “insignificant, little man”, whose forgotten story of moral courage can still shake the conscience of the world.
This production was created by The Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics at Georgetown University. The tour is organized with the support of the Jan Karski Educational Foundation.
The script of the acclaimed stage play Remember This: The Lesson of Jan Karski, illustrated with stills from the black-and-white film based on the theater production, is now available on Amazon.com.
Tickets are available to purchase online.
