Square Rounds

Square Rounds

Work:: Square Rounds (S01028871559)

Fritz Haber, a German Jewish chemist, has been ordered by the Kaiser to develop a deadly poison gas to help Germany win the First World War. Despite the protestations of his wife, Haber hopes that his new invention will be an opportunity to escape his status as an outsider in German society. Little does he know, however, that his invention will go on to be used to exterminate his own people in the Holocaust just 25 years later. American inventor Hudson Maxim is concerned for his country and the frightening technological advances employed by America's new European enemies. But he is also jealous of his brother Hiram - internationally famous for his invention of the machine gun - and deeply suspicious of his brother's cosy relationship with the European powers.
Author Tony Harrison

Presented in the year that marks the centenary of the end of the First World War, this play about war and the devastating impact of chemical warfare and weapons of mass destruction has never been more timely.
