If you’re in the mood for some profound theater this weekend, the UWEC Theatre Department has your ticket. Their production of Bent covers the Holocaust and sexuality with an eye-opening look at the experiences homosexuals endured in Nazi Germany. Synopsis:

• In 1934 Berlin Max and his lover Rudy are recovering from a drinking and sexual encounter with a homosexual Sa Trooper. Two Nazi officers burst into the apartment and slit their guest’s throat, beginning a nightmare odyssey through Nazi Germany which ranked homosexuals on a lower human scale than Jews. By Martin Sherman, directed by Richard Nimke.
