Since its off-Broadway premiere at the Theatre for A New Audience in Brooklyn, NY, on September 15, the play Remember This: The Lesson of Jan Karski has gathered numerous enthusiastic reviews published in prestigious newspapers and theater magazines (see links and PDF's below). David Strathairn has received many accolades for his magnetic portrayal of the Polish emissary, while the story itself makes the audience cry, ponder, and – during the lighter moments that break the somber climate of the play – laugh. The skillful writing, stage movement, music, sound, and lighting are vastly admired, and the importance of telling this story – emphasized.
