Audition Lines:
Major Mott: “Camp life and separation from their families is cruelly felt by the prisoners. They complain that it is impossible for them to concentrate their thoughts on some work or study or to fill these long hours.
When the guns slammed out their message at eleven o clock some men streamed out and shouted, laughing and talking. But many were grave.”

Kurt Engler: I cannot earn from my painting anymore, Amy. They say they are propaganda, and I have to stop. They’ve taken the one I have done from the shop."

"The British Authorities arrested my husband, Benjamin Cseh contrary to international law, before the declaration of war between Great Britain and Austria. I petition the ministry for his release and I wait and I wait.”
