Notes:

Actors perform a scene from a play in the French theater at Celle. The theater includes a piano to the left and a stage with scenes. The audience is accommodated by a large number of benches. Theater performances were important for the mental health of POW's incarcerated in prison camps since plays provided mental diversions from their captivity.
