After David, a senior at Columbia University, saves Nina from serious injury at an anti-war demonstration in 1968, an unraveling of human and familiar connection is discovered. Through a series of vignettes that travel back in time to 1942, we see their family in the Warsaw ghetto struggling to escape and survive the war. It was a time that people would do anything to protect their true identities-ensuring their lineage remains intact–and that the Jewish people were able to persevere. David and Nina are drawn into their family’s history and discover they are connected beyond a common mission of peace.

The line between good and evil rarely stands still as betrayal, murder and the forever "who am I?" explode in the shadow of the Vietnam War. Will a Jewish man's twenty-five-year search for nephews and a niece, hidden from deportation to a concentration camp, bring peace and redemption?

Hidden, presented by The Playwrights' Gate, will take place at The 36th Street Theatre, 4th Floor but is not a production of The Chain Theatre. This world premiere is written and directed by Marc Weiner.
