Hardly a son enjoys discovering the reality of his father’s association with a criminal organization; better to leave that alone. But some pasts will not leave us alone. In this new work, historian and playwright Peter Petschauer confronts the chilling reality of his father’s stint in the SS. The fast-paced dialogue opens the mindset of this thirty-something intellectual and how he moved from enthusiasm for a cause to the undeniable recognition of its folly and brutality.

The American Theatre Wing, founder of the Tony Awards, has described Triad Stage as "one of the most promising emerging theatre companies from around the country." In this riveting drama, an African-American ex-con saves the life of a white professor on a subway platform in New York City, even though the professor didn't wish for such deliverance. The incident leads the two men back to a Harlem apartment where hope and despair clash in a battle that shakes both men to the core of their existence. Is one an angel? Is the other completely lost?
