Ashes To Ashes
Synopsis:
In 1940 the Nazi government began building the single greatest killing centre ever conceived by mankind. It had, within its grounds, four purpose-built gas-chambers, equipped with crematoriums. Shipped to auschwitz/Birkenau from all over europe, either to be gassed on arrival or to be worked to death, 1,500.000 men, women and children are known to have died there. ashes to ashes is a play about the force of the human soul. It explores the power of spiritual strength in face of humiliation, fear and death. It is a moving and deeply affecting story about inmates thrown together in a living hell. Following their day to day existence in a death camp, this play shows, rather than tells, what went on.

Flood, The
Synopsis:
Set in the bloody battlefields of WW1, The Flood recreates the horror of the conflict with an explicit depiction of the slaughter forced upon millions of soldiers. A parallel love story explores the devastating effects on the women that loved those men. As the insanity of the war intensifies, it follows this emerging relationship as it is irreversibly affected by unfolding events. Switching between the visceral horror of war, to an increasingly passionate yet ultimately tragic love affair, Badac present an intense portrayal of the emotional and psychological effects of wars past, present and, God forbid, future.
