Description Set in Hitler's bunker in the final days of the Third Reich. 'One act play, about an hour in length, which explores the disintegrating mind of the Fuhrer. His isolation is further enforced by two mute witnesses, Eva Braun and his manservant. They hover in attendance like figures in a dream, providing Hitler with cups of tea, drugs, games and music. They are calmy (drugged?) waiting for the inevitable end as Hitler's mind wanders about in his past, his beliefs, and now his betrayal.' ACT.
