Tom Dugan's one-man show brings the wisdom, courage and humor of the renowned Wiesenthal, who pledged his life to seeing justice served in the wake of The Holocaust.

There's ancient wisdom in the adage that it's only with knowledge of darkness that we can truly know the light. For Simon Wiesenthal, an experience of deepest darkness armed him with light for a lifelong career that helped inspire and empower a generation of post-war survivors.

A product of that inspiration is Dugan's play, which frames Wiesenthal on the day of his retirement, attending one final group of students at his Jewish Documentation Center in Vienna, Austria. With warmth, wit and surprising humor the man known as "The Conscience of the Holocaust" and "the Jewish James Bond" recounts the remarkable story of how, after cheating death repeatedly in the clutches of the WWII Nazi war machine, he dedicated his life to pursuing and bringing to justice some of the greatest mass murderers in human history.

Nazi Hunter - Simon Wiesenthal previews at Ventura's Rubicon Theatre Company February 15-17, and opens February 18 in an engagement that runs through March 11.
