We Will Not Be Silent
Author(s): David Meyers
Brief synopsis: "We Will Not Be Silent" tells the true story of Sophie Scholl, a German college student who led the only major act of civil disobedience to the Nazis during the Second World War.
The play is not about the Holocaust - but examines the role that ordinary Germans played in the rise of Hitler, and the strength and courage that led a group of German students to risk their lives for a righteous, but hopeless, cause.
Format: Full-length drama
Cast Size: 1W,2M
