Afterlife
~ Michael Frayn - M4,F2 - 9781408108338

Afterlife is Michael Frayn's first new play for the UK's National Theatre since Democracy in 2003

Investigating the life of the Austrian impressario Max Reinhardt, this is a grand epic as Reinhardt and his Salzburg company are forced into exile by the Nazis

Their production of Everyman is taken to America where life imitates art and Death comes first for Reinhardt's Master of Ceremonies Kommer - and then for Reinhardt himself
