The Medicine Show Theater, the venerable avant-garde off-off-Broadway institution that began as the Open Theater and is now in its 41st year, is presenting an epic play about three iconic cultural figures: LIVING WITH HISTORY: Camus, Sartre, de Beauvoir.  The play, set during the German 
Occupation of Paris and the post-war, is written by Howard Pflanzler in collaboration with Barbara Vann and the actors.  It is centrally concerned with the conflicts and ironies of collaboration and resistance, and the re-valuation of 
personal and political positions in the post-war period, where the sides were not as clear as during the war. 

The Medicine Show theater is at 549 West 52nd Street, between 11th and 10th Avenues, 3rd floor.  Performance times are Thursdays at 7:30, Fridays and 
Saturdays at 8:00, and Sundays at 4:00 PM.  Living with History runs through May 22nd.  Tickets: $18, available through SmartTix at (212) 868-4444 or www.SmartTix.com
