Drawing on first-hand accounts, including memories from the 1930s up to the present day, the playwrights have collaborated to overcome language barriers and weave their separate languages into one single dramatic entity. The  resulting play engages with increased levels of debate about European  identity versus national identity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition features both the  multi-lingual and the English text, and has an introduction by the  dramaturg behind the project, Caroline Jester.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaroline Jester \u003c\/b\u003eled The REP's award-winning young writers' programme \u003ci\u003eTransmissions \u003c\/i\u003efor ten years.
