REVIEW: "GELI - HITLER'S NIECE"

by Richard Wolstencroft

A great new play has opened in Melbourne Australia that deals with the touchy issue of Adolf Hitler’s relationship with his niece Geli. Anyone who has studied the National Socialist period already knows the story well.

AESCHYLUS AS AGITPROP

I decided to impress the missus the other night by taking her out to the theatre, opting for something "a bit classical" – a modern retelling of Aeschylus’ Oresteia, reworked for a modern Canadian setting by Nicolas Billon, a playwright previously honoured with the Governor General's Award for English-language Drama.

What could possibly go wrong? Quite a lot actually as I hadn’t done my homework.
