''Irena's Vow'' is a Broadway play recounting the story of Irena Gut, a Polish nurse who, at the risk of her life, saved twelve Jews during World War II in German-occupied Poland.〔 ==Production history== The play opened at Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre at 219 West 48th Street (between Broadway and 8th Avenue) on 29 March 2009,〔"''Przysięga Ireny''" ("Irena's Vow"), ''Gwiazda Polarna'' (Pole Star), vol. 100, no. 7 (March 28, 2009), p. 14.〕 after having premiered off-Broadway at the Baruch Performing Arts Center in September 2008. The ninety-minute play opened at the Kerr Theatre with the same cast from off-Broadway.〔Andrew Gans, ("Feldshuh to Return to Broadway in March in Irena's Vow" ), playbill.com, 22 December 2008.〕 The play was written by Dan Gordon, based on conversations that he had held with Irene Gut-Opdyke (''née'' Irena Gut). Gordon "captures... peculiarly Polish elements: the heroine's irony and sense of humor in the face of catastrophe." He deftly draws the historic backdrop to Irena's story and creates a suspenseful narrative and "enthralling dialog."〔 The title role is played by Tovah Feldshuh. Appearing in other roles are Sandi Carroll, Tracee Chimo, Steven Hauck, Scott Klaven, Peter Reznikoff, Thomas Ryan, Gene Silvers, John Stanisci and Maja Wampuszyc. ''Irena's Vow'' is directed by Michael Parva. Scenic design is by Kevin Judge; lighting design, David Castaneda; costume design, Astrid Brucker; sound design and music composition, Quentin Chiappetta; and projection design, Alex Koch.〔〔 On June 16, 2009 it was announced that ''Irena's Vow'' will close on June 28. At the time of its closure, it will have played 21 previews and 105 regular performances.〔Gans, Andrew.("Irena's Vow to Close on Broadway June 28," ) playbill.com, June 16, 2009〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Irena's Vow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
