NEW YORK—The cavernous Wade Thompson Drill Hall of the Park Avenue Armory presently houses “Judgment Day,” written by Austro-Hungarian playwright Odon von Horvath, adapted by Christopher Shinn.
Von Horvath wrote the play in 1937, just as Hitler was beginning to seize power, and the play contains overtones of what the playwright undoubtedly feared was to come. (Von Horvath died in 1938 in an unfortunate accident when he was only 36.)
