About the Performance
A wonderful new reimagining of Corrie Ten Boom’s biographical tale of forgiveness and reconciliation in the shadows of WWII. During the Nazi occupation, the family bravely hide Jews in their small clock shop. The consequences are dark and devastating.
The production looks not only at the story from Corrie’s viewpoint but also from a German army officer’s angle as well. How do they both regard their families, their faith, the Jewish people and the occupation of Holland?
They begin in different worlds, but eventually come face to face with each other. Moving and inspiring, and relevant for today.
The company appreciate the support and encouragement of John & Elizabeth Sherrill. The play is based on the story told in their bestselling book, The Hiding Place, written with Corrie Ten Boom.

For those who love theatre, its magic is undeniable—the charged atmosphere, the spine-tingling moments, and the way strangers unite through shared laughter or tears.

Searchlight’s vision is to create theatre that tells life-changing stories—stories that make audiences laugh, cry, and reflect on what it means to be human, while also encountering the reality of God. Their work has earned critical acclaim, with at least one four-star review from each of their 12 appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
