This play in two acts, totalling five scenes, is set in Berlin during the immediate post-WWII years. All the German characters were born and raised - whether they opposed it or not - under the influence of Nazi ideology and practice. The exceptions are a Russian emigré of the 1917 October revolution, an English gentleman and an American negro of the occupying forces. The precarious economic conditions under which the female protagonist endeavours to bring up her children typify besides the moral degradation of a devastated and conquered people. Her resilience and tenacity also make for a role in which only the talents of an exceptional actress can do justice to the taxing cyclothymic dramatic part.
