Taken at Midnight is the theatre-writing debut of Mark Hayhurst but, in another sense, it completes a trilogy. Three years ago, he was responsible for an unusual double bill on television: a drama, The Man Who Crossed Hitler, and a documentary, To Stop a Tyrant, both recreating the forgotten story of Hans Litten, a young Jewish lawyer who, in 1931, took advantage of the trial of four Nazi stormtroopers accused of violence to put the party leader on the stand as a witness. Skilled at haranguing a crowd, Hitler proved shifty and inarticulate in the courtroom and never forgot his humiliation. After coming to power, he had Litten arrested on the day of the Reichstag fire as an enemy of the state and incarcerated at Sonnenburg concentration camp before being moved to Dachau, where he died.Hitl
