I Never Saw Another Butterfly is a moving one-act play based on the poetry created in a concentration camp by the Jewish children of Prague. The play details children’s account of life during the Holocaust. It is a heavy emotional piece. The play contains mature content and themes and is not recommended for children younger than 7th grade.
