Details

At the height of the war, Hess flew to Scotland on a self-appointed mission of peace where he was immediately imprisoned and later convicted at Nuremberg and given a life sentence. Declared mad, Hess committed suicide in 1987, the very last inmate of Spandau prison. The play supposes what he might have said, given the opportunity, about himself, about the world we have made, and what he witnessed from his hermit's cell following the Nazi's defeat.
