"Wiesenthal" (directed by Jenny Sullivan) is set on the day of the famed "Nazi Hunter's" retirement while he recounts how after cheating death at the hands of Hitler's dreaded S.S. he dedicated his life to tracking down and bringing to justice nearly 1,100 fugitive war criminals, including Franz Stangl, the Treblinka death camp commandant; Karl Silberbauer, the S.S. officer who imprisoned Anne Frank; and the infamous "Architect of the Holocaust" Adolph Eichmann.
Dugan, the son of a decorated WWII veteran, is available for interview or to provide commentary on his play and the life of Wiesenthal, including on Holocaust Remembrance Day April 8 and during the Holocaust National Days of Remembrance April 7-14.
Tom Dugan is a veteran actor and playwright who recently received the 2011 Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Solo Performance and was winner of three 2011 Los Angeles Ovation Award nominations for his work in "Wiesenthal." Written by and starring Tom Dugan, "Wiesenthal" chronicles the life of Holocaust survivor Simon Wiesenthal.
