	REVIEW: "A testimony of INCREDIBLE courage!" THE IRISH TIMES ***	817 Tage her
	Titus Carmelite Hall Aidan Harney's dramatic monologue, played by Sean McNally, tells the true story of a Carmelite priest and mystic who was killed in Dachau by the Nazis. Titus Brandsma was Dutch, son of a farmer, and made his way through the church ranks, against bureaucratic opposition, to become an eminent theologian and university administrator. Then came Hitler and the Nazis, to whom he was implacably opposed. He toured Europe and Germany preaching opposition to their racist outrages, and was arrested and sent to the concentration camp. There, he suffered terribly, and died by lethal injection. The actor traces his life, moving back and forth between youth and final years. He plays Titus and other characters, particularly in the camp, with conviction. This is a fervent testimony, more tract than theatre, to a saintly man of incredible courage, moral and physical.
