THE EMPTY MIRROR United States

The Empty Mirror provides Adolf Hitler
with the dramatic opportunity to recapitulate,
explain and analyze his insidious
career. A virtual one-man performance
piece by British actor Norman Rodway,
pie imagines a postwar Hitler holed up in
an underground bunker dictating his memoirs
to a blond officer … Declaring his legacy
“of destruction and grandeur” a success
because he achieved immortality,
Hershey’s Hitler sees his life’s achievements
as the creation of visionary art on
the most massive scale. T he politics and
moral acceptability of Hershey’s undertaking
could easily be dismissed out of hand,
and will be by those who want to view
Hitler as the simplified embodiment of all
evil and leave it at that. But for anyone
willing to ponder the specifics of Hitler’s
twisted mind and acts, there are elements
here to engage the interest. -Todd
