Location: Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater Theatre New West, in conjunction with Holocaust Museum Houston, presents “The Timekeepers” by Dan Clancy, an uplifting tale of transcendence in the midst of a world gone mad. This award-winning play has played in London, Israel, Ireland, Canada, Poland, Germany and New York and has garnered rave reviews.
It is a beautiful, intense piece of theater that manages to combine humor and poignancy with remarkable skill. Set at Sachsenhausen concentration camp in World War II Germany, a Jewish prisoner and a homosexual prisoner are thrown together in dire circumstances. Their wicked sense of humor, vast differences and passionate love for opera take them to rich, rarely explored territory. Performances are April 23 through May 23, Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 8 p.m. and one Sunday performance on May 17 at 6 p.m. There is no performance May 2. Tickets are $20 each. All seating is first-come, first-served. For tickets or more information, call Theatre New West at 713-522-2204 or e-mail
