'The Last Station' is Remarque's only play. Its tense and gripping plot inspired several successful television productions and remains a fixture on German theater stages.

The script for 'The Last Act' is a fierce rebuke to the Nazi regime. Remarque spares no ordinary Germans who excused themselves by ignoring what was really happening in their country or by following orders. His verdict is simple and merciless: everyone is guilty—both those who acted and those who remained silent.
