The year is 1943, and Bulgaria has just told Hitler where to stick it.

Europe’s major powers are at war, and King Boris III must choose a side or be swept away. A raucous and poignant tale in which a bunch of underdogs use every trick in the book to outwit the Nazis and save nearly 50,000 Jewish lives.

Award-winning Out Of The Forest Theatre's irreverent comedy—featuring live music inspired by Bulgarian and Jewish folk tunes—tells the incredible true story that the world forgot.

Produced by Out Of The Forest Theatre in association with Something For The Weekend as part of 59E59's Brits Off Broadway season.
