"Marc Smith was a gifted story-teller and his gift is evident in his powerful play about Jan Karski. His play is important because Jan Karski’s story must be told and retold so that we may resolve not only the remnants of the conflicts of the past, but perhaps more importantly, clearly demonstrate that individuals are not helpless in the face of evil. Strong, principled persons can and do stand up to evil and thus make the world safer for us all. Marc Smith, through his moving play, reminded us of this truth and inspired us to act.” Marek Lesniewski-Laas (Honorary Consul of the Republic of Poland, for New England).
“Drama is a particularly important way of analyzing and looking at history…As history is receding farther and farther, it’s very important that current and future generations understand the legacy, and these plays help do that. We’re delighted to make those two stories and those plays available to our audiences.”--Marty Sleeper, (retired Associate Director, Facing History and Ourselves).
