High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Deputy, a Christian tragedy, also known as The Representative, is a controversial 1963 drama by Rolf Hochhuth which indicts Pope Pius XII for his claimed failure to take action or speak out against The Holocaust. It has been translated into more than twenty languages. The play has been dismissed by some as the product of KGB disinformation campaign to discredit the anti-communist Pope. An English translation by Richard and Clara Winston of the complete text was published as The Deputy: A Play, by Grove Press in 1964. A letter from Dr. Albert Schweitzer to Hochhuth's German publisher serves as the foreword to the Grove edition. The play was first performed at east Berlin's Freie Volksbuhne ("Free People's Theater") on February 20, 1963 under the direction of Erwin Piscator. The play toured the Eastern Bloc and then proceeded to tour the free world. It has been produced in more than 80 cities worldwide since.
