threat and horror
There is an intense scene of threat when sound effects give the impression that violence is taking place off stage via glass smashing and people screaming in terror.
language
There is infrequent very strong language ('c**t') and strong language ('f**k'). There is also racial language ('negro'). Other terms include 'bloody', 'bastard', 'shit', 'bugger' and 'Christ'.
sex
There are moderate sex references, including to BDSM, prostitution and 'f**king'.
discrimination
The play centres around the events leading up to the Holocaust. References are made to the deportation of Jewish people, and Nazi characters attempt to justify their own actions and those of their regime. Characters also express racist views against Jewish people; however the film's message is clearly anti-discriminatory.
drugs
There is a reference to drugs when jazz music is described as 'opium fuelled'.
sexual violence and sexual threat
Undetailed verbal references are made to people being the victims of sexual violence.
suicide and self-harm
A woman struggling with her physical and mental health tells her son that she is contemplating suicide.
