Ronald Harwood is one of the country’s leading playwrights, and an Oscar award-winning screenwriter for ‘The Pianist’. 

‘Taking Sides’ defies its audience to take sides as Harwood presents in all their complexity the reasons why conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler was both wrong and right to stay in Nazi Germany. 

Harwood pitches Furtwangler, the voice of culture, against the philistine Major Arnold in this tense adversarial drama
