About The Happiest Man on Earth
Adapted from the New York Times best seller memoir of Auschwitz survivor Eddie Jaku. This critically acclaimed one man play stars Kenneth Tigar (Man From High Castle) in a “blockbuster” performance.
★★★★★ “One of the finest offers in the London scene” - First Night Magazine
★★★★★ “Transcends the limits of theatre’ - Broadwayworld
★★★★★ “Tigar is simply sensational” - The Reviews Hub
Born in Leipzig, Germany, Eddie Jaku was a teenager when he was rounded up and sent to a concentration camp.
Overwhelmingly grateful to make it through seven years of horrors, he made a promise to smile every day in thanks for the precious gift of life. At 100 years old, he considers himself the Happiest Man on Earth.
This inspiring and uplifting production, beautifully crafted by Mark St Germain and finely tuned by director Ron Lagomarsino is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the human soul. It’s a reminder of how quickly our lives can change and the importance of standing up to hate.
