There’s a great ticket offer for JEECS followers  from the Arcola Theatre in Dalston (24 Ashwin St, London E8 3DL)  for its  forthcoming production of The Banality of Evil: Hannah Arendt, France, 1940, a world premiere from writer and director Julia Pascal (Blueprint Medea; Crossing Jerusalem) that blends satire, physical theatre and cabaret to reveal forgotten histories of women caught between exile, imprisonment and survival..

In May 1940, three German Jewish women are arrested in France – Hannah Arendt, who would become one of the 20th century’s most influential political theorists, the artist Charlotte Salomon, and the Communist schoolgirl Eva Daube. Branded “Undesirables” and transported to Camp Gurs, they find themselves among thousands of prisoners held by the state that once promised them refuge. As German forces advance, each woman must confront an impossible choice: stay and hope for liberation, or risk her life to escape into a dangerous and unknown future.

The play runs this autumn from October 8 to November. 7. For the special offer price of £15 per ticket, use the promo code 15HANNAH for all performances, subject to availability. See dates and times, and buy tickets, at https://www.arcolatheatre.com/event/the-banality-of-evil/
