Adolf Eichmann: the Man, the Myth, the Monster

Adolf Eichmann has been called "the architect of the Holocaust" -- as well as many other things. But Evan M. Wiener's play CAPTORS aims to show that his heinous and sinister crimes were not the product of some monstrous evil -- they were perpetrated by a real human being. Playwright Evan M. Wiener, director Peter DuBois, and cast members Louis Cancelmi (Peter Malkin) and Pulitzer Prize-winner Michael Cristofer (Adolf Eichmann) discuss the many sides of this infamous war criminal, and his relationship with Israel Mossad agent Peter Malkin. CAPTORS, the thrilling true story of the capture of Adolf Eichmann, plays November 11 - December 11 at the BU Theatre / Avenue of the Arts. For more information, visit huntingtontheatre.org/captors
