ZAGŁADA is a Polish word meaning annihilation used within Poland to refer to the HOLOCAUST, particularly in the context of the systematic, state-sponsored genocide of six million European Jews by the Nazi German regime and its allies and collaborators.
This psychological crime thriller peels away layers of historical PTSD when four New Yorkers unexpectedly meet in a Queens police precinct. Ninety year old Maspeth resident Jerzy Kozlowski has just been arrested for shooting at Danielle Hooper, a journalist who has discovered that Kozlowski was a kapo in a Nazi Concentration Camp. In a race against time, NYPD Officer Frank Napoli, Homeland Security Officer Sonia Sokolow, and Danielle Hooper confront the past, each other, and Kozlowski. What is a human being capable of doing to protect themselves and the ones they love and will justice prevail?

The play ZAGŁADA is inspired by history. All characters are fictional.

Mr. Cariou is joined by JES WASHINGTON, SALVATORE INZERILLO, and MAJA WAMPUSZYC
