	Kindertransport (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		I don't mean that Kindertransport is without theatrical flourishes: the play flips back and forth between 1939 and the 1980s, and the parallels among all the relationships on stage pile up at a dizzying rate.
		Kindertransport is not a subtle work, and it leaves no mysteries unsolved by the time it finally comes to an end (after several logical stopping points).
		Kindertransport is critic-proof because there's not room for a ray of light between the play itself and the honorable intent to teach people about one of the most poignant aspects of the Holocaust.
