All Our Cost - Ghetto

Birmingham Ormiston Academy’s Acting Pathway presents All Our Cost, a season of three plays that looks at the Holocaust and the relationship between theatre and history.

Peter Weiss’ verbatim play The Investigation is retold through physical theatre.

Ghetto by Joshua Sobel looks at the role of theatre within the Jewish community in the Vilna ghetto.

The final play, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, reflects how the Jewish community might have used art to comment on their situation.
