“Louis Tyrrell...stages with an invisible hand, trusting the power of the words and the situation...”
—Hap Erstein, Palm Beach Arts Paper
“...David Meyers and Theatre Lab inject the audience so deeply into such an almost tactile dilemma on stage that we must at least ask ourselves those crucial questions about courage, conviction and integrity.”
—Bill Hirschman, Florida Theatre On Stage
We Will Not Be Silent tells the true story of Sophie Scholl, a German college student who led the only major act of civil disobedience to the Nazis during the Second World War. The play examines the role that ordinary Germans played in the rise of Hitler -- and the moral strength and courage that led a group of German students to risk their lives for a righteous cause.
