PETRIFIED SORROW

Eduard Leuw, Translation: Leo Davidson Adaptation: Scott Ripley June 2002

Petrified Grief is the personal account of the deaf actor Eduard Leuw about what his parental family experienced as people in hiding during World War II.

Eduard Leuw tells the story mainly from his own perspective and from his mother’s perspective. Apart from that, he plays a few other parts: his aunt, the soldier and the policeman. A wooden chair indicates the place of his mother.
