This review is from: FULL CIRCLE: A PLAY. As adapted by Peter Stone (Paperback)

A single stage setting in Berlin at the end of World War II, just being a combination of events on the night of April 30 to May 1, 1945, is supposed to be presented without intermission, but my reading of it was interrupted. People would like to have an understanding of what goes on in the world, but my own reaction to institutional thinking which goes to absurd extremes to maintain official powers is already voiced on page 15 by the main character telling the block warden after the all clear signal:

I don't care if you're Adolf Hitler now. As long as that door remains standing you'll knock on it.
