The Banality of Evil, with Julia Pascal

from Standard Issue Podcast Hosted by Standard Issue

Hannah Arendt's most famous expression - the banality of evil - might be well quoted, but the woman herself is less widely known. Her time in the Gurs internment camp in France is the subject of a new play by Julia Pascal. Hannah talks to the playwright and director about life for women in camps, the importance of critical thinking and why Arendt's work is as vital as ever. * Tickets for The Banality of Evil: Hannah Arendt, France, 1940 are here: https://www.arcolatheatre.com/event/the-banality-of-evil/ * Join the Standard Issue supporters' club here: Standard Issue Podcast | creating a magazine for ears, by women for women | Patreon
