Inspired by a true story about the post-WWII Nuremberg trials, this work of theatrical historical fiction explores the complex relationship between Hermann Goering--former Reichmarschall of Germany and the leading Nazi on trial or war crimes--and his interpreter, a 23-year old Jewish U.S. Army Private.

Lieutenant Jimmy Cosgrove, 26. Supervisor of Interpreters and Courtroom Operations for the trial, 26. The quintessential all-American Boy, whose upbeat demeanor highlights Rosen’s sadness.

Colonel Kenneth A. Erickson, 41. Head of the Interrogation Unit assigned to the trials. Charismatic, ambitious career soldier from a family of career soldiers.
