To recognise Holocaust Memorial Day, join the Pascal Theatre Company for a staged play reading of Julia Pascal's 'A Dead Woman on Holiday'.
About this Event

The Nazis, wrote Primo Levi, called a Jew in a concentration camp “a dead man on holiday.”

A Dead Woman on Holiday occurs not in a concentration camp but during the Nuremberg Trials after the Second World War. Sophie Goldenberg, a French Jew, is working as a translator during the hearings when she and a Catholic American soldier meet and fall in love. But she has an English husband, and he an American wife and child.


Pascal Theatre Company returns to Burgh House in January for Holocaust Memorial Day 2025 with a staged reading of a play addressing issues of adultery, guilt and survival, contrasting a conventional marriage and domesticity against free love.

“This modern prose play is so organised in time and space that it acquires the kind of austere beauty and rhetorical tension we associate with the tragedies of Racine.” The Financial Times.


6.30pm: Doors and bar

7pm: Performance begins
