Paula Biren. Paula spent most of the war in the Lodz ghetto. She survived by volunteering for education and then being selected for the women's police force. 45,000 people died in Lodz from starvation, exhaustion and disease. The longest lasting of all the Ghetto's, Lodz was finally emptied when all that was left of the Jewish prisoners were put into the last train to go to Auschwitz. On arrival Paula's mother and sister were immediately taken away, gassed and burnt. Her father only survived a few days of hard labour. Paula survived and went to America after liberation.

Four Sisters: The untold story of the doomed Romanov girls

LC: Reconciling all the different versions of ourselves—who you are with your partner, your closest friend, a stranger, your parents—isn’t always straightforward. Sometimes I feel like I’m a vessel holding all of these different versions at once.It does go a bit panto at times. “Please don’t hold my family against me,” the young Princess Victoria says to her betrothed, Prince Louis of Battenburg. “Why would I do that? Most of them are my family too,” he replies, camply. Cousin Willy, later Kaiser Wilhelm II, is a nostril-flaring villain with big Richard III energy, whose fragile ego is the catalyst for catastrophe. He is first rejected by beautiful cousin Ella, then humiliated at Queen Victoria’s golden jubilee in 1877 by his uncle Bertie, who seats him further down the table than the Queen of Hawaii, even though he is next in line to the German throne. (His coronation comes soon; his father, Fritz is ill, we are told, before seeing him touch a white handkerchief to his mouth, and cough, sadly.) Each character is introduced with a freeze-frame and the stamp of a giant caption of their name, which is very SAS Rogue Heroes. And there are a few lovely looking scenes that, at points, give it a Sofia Coppola feel, albeit one on a tight budget. At a time when great expense is being poured all over royal dramas, its contained approach does make it stand out, but in the end I found I was rooting for it, scrappiness and all. This 50-minute one act play, running at the Hope Theatre as part of Camden Fringe, takes some of American literature’s most beloved female characters and doesn’t quite know what to do with them. Beth is doing a business management degree while playing in a band and shares a London house with Amy who paints. Meg dotes on her husband Richard as she tries to be the perfect housewife while Jo pursues an unspecified feminist writing career but resents being left behind to care for their mother. In the present, CJ confesses that he almost cheated on his wife Princess. His sisters urge him to come clean and ask her forgiveness, while reminding him of their love. NN: It has. They can’t really see the end, but I can see the end. I can see that the photographs will stop sometime. I hope they’ll only stop when I die. I hope that they won’t stop for any other reason, but it’s not completely up to me, you know? The sisters need to be completely co-collaborators. If one of them would die and then everybody would say we need to stop, I would reluctantly have to go along with it.

NN: Oh yeah, there’s a couple where they’re completely mad at me. And yes, they go through changes in their lives, and they don’t want anybody to know about it. This year, our Young Artist repetiteurs are each spending a week with one of our partner companies, shadowing the music team as they work on productions. Here's what Jacob Swindells had to say about his time with Scottish Opera. My camera is very large—it’s a spectacle that you have to collaborate with. Usually people are looking at it and wondering, “What is this foolish thing, and why does this guy want to take my picture?” You have to put the film holder in, you have to pull the dark slide out. It’s a big deal to take the picture. The camera is more like a piece of old furniture than it is a technological machine. It’s a box that’s made of wood. It’s old-fashioned and clunky-looking. I think that’s comfortable for people: the clunkiness of it and my affection for the process. Finally, what do you hope that audience members will take away with them after experiencing these two operas?

NN: It’s related to them getting closer as they grew older, and their mother’s failing health, and the five of us coming to grips with life. It’s made us all closer. Also, as time has gone on, I’ve found being five feet from somebody less interesting than being one foot away because of the intensity of the emotions. After graduating from Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatoire I studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London. My music is probably a symbiosis of everything - something Russian, something English, something of my own...I love living in London and seeing a lot of shows and concerts. In terms of my own music, I simply I write what I want to hear. It is hard to say exactly what influences what ... When DawnUpshawasked me to write an opera for her students at Bard (New York), I thought it would be nice to have an originally written contemporary libretto specifically tailored for this occasion - perhaps with a few frivolous young girls at the centre of the piece. I would argue, though, that the pictures promise a more interesting end than that. Time is so big, it’s so rich. The pictures have an implicit promise that they will come to an end that doesn’t have to do with people just turning the lights out and saying “we’re done.” I don’t know if they’ll buy that or not, but Bebe agrees with me. The others don’t want to talk about it.
