"Another winter of war and survival demands sacrifices...Food is in short supply and the cold is unbearable. In a tantalising menage-a-trois between a Professor, his assistant, and a student, only the books bear witness to their plight. Human Rites is a provocative play that questions our natural instincts and asks how far we are prepared to go in order to survive. "

Human Rites Reviews

"As bombs fall and bullets spray outside, Belgian writer Amelie Nothomb allows us a peek inside, behind closed doors, into the subtle atrocities of war away from the heroism of the battlefields - this is a well written play and Nothomb a writer to look out for." - The Stage
