The Wrestling Patient April 3, 2009

Based on the remarkable and true story of Etty Hillesum, a young Jewish writer, this extraordinary play chronicles Etty's remarkable journey into the emerging science of psychology just as World War II engulfs her native Amsterdam. An ensemble of seven actors brings to life Etty Hillesum's secret history of musical evenings, therapeutic wrestling matches, black-market strawberries and midnight prayers that inspired her amazing transformation during one of the darkest hours in history.
