‘These refuseniks have all been denied visas to go to Israel. Some are in prison, others are suffering KGB harassment even as I speak… the point of asking you here is to find ways of mounting a barrage of publicity in the media. To act as horseflies, if you like, on the Kremlin’s rump.’

Written by Jeremy Paul. Extracts from prison diaries by Edward Kuznetsov were the inspiration for this play.

Cast includes John Alderton, Lynn Farleigh, Paul Freeman, Sara Kestelman, John Bird, Carl Duering, Derek Smyth, and Denyse Alexander.

Synopsis:
‘Public television’s “Mystery!” series has acquired a three-part romp through amorality that, right up to its overly pat ending, is bound to fascinate devoted viewers. “Praying Mantis,” which begins tonight at 9 on WNET/Channel 13, has been adapted quite skillfully by Philip Mackie from a novel by the French writer Hubert Monteilhet. So despite the preponderance of British accents, the flavor of the nasty machinations is strictly Gallic.
This is the kind of entertainment that should be approached with as little information as possible about the plot. It does involve four major characters: two rather ineffectual men and two awesomely formidable women. The youngish Vera (Carmen Du Satoy) is married to the oldish Paul (Pinkas Braun), a university professor. Paul’s first wife and their son have died under odd circumstances, and we quickly learn that an insurance company is suspicious about Vera’s possible roles in the deaths. Nevertheless, Paul seems content with his second marriage and has drawn up a new will with Vera as beneficiary to his considerable fortune.
Meanwhile, just off stage center for a while, there lurks Christian (Jonathan Pryce), Paul’s young assistant, who seems to be leading a remarkably quiet life dedicated wholly to his work. He does meet, however, Beatrice (Cherie Lunghi), a perky young woman with considerable secretarial skills. Beatrice, a bit of a free spirit, is pregnant, courtesy of a friend who is not interested in marrying her. Christian offers to help get her a job as secretary to the professor. Their individual roles now firmly fixed, the members of the quartet begin to play out a scenario that will set in motion a whirligig of deception, blackmail and, needless to say, murder, supposedly of the very French “crime of passion” variety.’
– John J. O’Connor

Description
Heavily based on the novel by Richard Rashke, Escape From Sobibor tells the
inspirational true story of the only successful mass-escape from a Nazi concentration.

In 1942 Operation Reinhard, the final solution to the Jewish question was put into operation. Three death camps were built in Eastern Poland, near the Russian border, at Treblinka, Belzec, and Sobibor. Sobibor opened in March 1942. Initially, three gas chambers housed in a brick building used carbon monoxide to kill Jewish prisoners, with three more gas chambers added later.

At the height of its operation, Sobibor had trains overcrowded with prisoners arriving daily. During its operation, it’s estimated that over a quarter of a million people were exterminated in this camp, the vast majority being Jewish. The evil and ghastly operation at Sobibor came to a grinding halt, when on October 14, 1943, the prisoners revolted and the Germans lost control of the camp.

This made-for-television production tells this extraordinary story.
