Late one night, in a hotel room in Teplice - an Austrian born clairvoyant by the name of Erik Jan Hanussen is arrested.
The charge?
Not quite solid.
The arrest?
Not quite kosher.
The fallout?
One of the most baffling court cases in Czechoslovakian history.
On a hot summers' afternoon, on a Lake outside of Berlin, a clairvoyant swathed in white with dark skin, dark eyes and an even darker purpose is entertaining a crowd on his yacht.
His guests?
A collection of the wealthy, the exotic and the mysterious.
His VIP?
A high-ranking, albeit naive Nazi, who was about to become one of Hanussen's closest friends.
The irony?
Hanussen was a jew.
From award winning playwright, Nina Atesh, 'In League With the Devil ' is the incredible untold true story of a court case swathed in deception, hypocrisy and downright absurdity at a time when magicians were still shrouded in mystery, telepathy was heavily debated, and Europe was on the precipice of a madness one could seldom comprehend.
