Yesterday afternoon I came across this link to a recording of a play. It was quite long, but I thought I’d give it a watch. Before I got far, though, I sent the link to Lyn so she cold watch too: it was an incredibly powerful piece of drama. The First To Go is about the famous T4 program, in which the nazis exterminated thousands of people with disabilities. Written by Nabil Shaban, it depicts the experiences of a group of disabled people during that time. Clearly well researched, it’s accuracy renders it utterly chilling, and at times hard to watch. Nonetheless, it’s well worth watching. I now intend to investigate further, perhaps getting hold of a script or looking for a performance.
