Description Adapted for the stage by Christopher Hampton from the novel by George Steiner. Did Hitler die in the Berlin bunker, or is he alive and well and living in the jungles of Brazil? If he is captured, where will he be taken for trial? If he speaks, what will he say? The play is a triumph of suspense - a decidedly new start on a major issue
