Nachtland

The people who buy paintings like this aren`t just driven by aesthetic desire. People who buy paintings like this want a story. A story that catapults them into the orbit of the Führer.As Nicola and Philipp are clearing out their late father`s house, they find an old painting stashed in the attic: a quaint watercolour of a church on a pale summer day, signed `A. Hitler`.Nicola wants to sell it. Philipp wants to keep it. Philipp`s wife Judith wants to burn it.A jagged satire from one of Germany``s foremost playwrights, Nachtland opened at the Young Vic Theatre, London, in February 2024.
