Geraldine Alexander, Scott Barrow, Os Leanse, Philippine Velge, Paksie Vernon and Arthur Wilson will star in the UK premiere of Here There Are Blueberries, which will run at Stratford East in January 2026.
In 2007, a mysterious album featuring Nazi-era photographs arrived at the desk of a U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum archivist. As curators unravel the shocking truth behind the images, the album soon makes headlines and ignites a debate that reverberates far beyond the museum walls. Based on real events, Here There Are Blueberries tells the story of these historical photographs—what they reveal about the perpetrators of the Holocaust, and our own humanity.
Alexander plays Judy Cohen and others, Barrow is Karl Höcker and others, Leanse is Peter Wirths and others, Velge is Rebecca Erbelding and others, Vernon is Charlotte Schünzel and others, and Wilson is Rainer Höss and others.
