Set during Speers' 20 years in Spandau Prison after the fall of the Third Reich, Speer is visited by a Calvinist Priest, a Woman and his Conscience.In order to find peace Speer must come clean about his part in the Fuhrers' grand plans and the forced labour camps, which placed the doomed lives of 800,000 workers in his hands.

Based largely on the amazing biographical study by Gitta Sereney, SPEER; HIS BATTLE WITH TRUTH, The Devil's Architect is an intimate and intense look 'inside' Speers' head and conveys his strength, torment and catharsis.
