More DescriptionIn commemoration of the centennial of World War I, SueMedia Productions / Midsummer Sound present the original audio drama, Never Again War: The Sacrifice of Käthe Kollwitz by Helen Engelhardt. Hosted by Marsha Mason (Oscar nominee / Golden Globe winner), Never Again War takes us into the mind and life of the great German graphic artist and sculptor, Käthe Kollwitz, renowned for her body of work dedicated to depicting the lives of the working poor.After her youngest son, Peter, was killed in Belgium in October 1914, during the opening weeks of World War I, she devoted her life to using her art in the service of her grief and opposition to war. Our play begins in Berlin February 1914, at a party in the Kollwitz home, celebrating the 18th birthday of her younger son Peter. A few months later, as soon as war begins, Peter implores his parents for permission to join his older brother Hans to become a soldier. To support the idealism of her sons to offer themselves for sacrifice on behalf of The Fatherland, the socialist Käthe finds herself supporting her sons in a war she deeply disapproved of. When the play concludes in Moritzburg, two weeks before Germany¿s defeat at the end of World War II in 1945, Kollwitz has learned that every war is answered by a new war until everything is smashed because every war already carries within it the war that will answer it, as World War II answered World War I.
