Two left turns may not make a right and forgiving may not be the same as forgetting. But imagine a world where we didn’t need to shroud truths in idioms, instead facing our wrongdoings with unblinking eyes. Perhaps in this world, we could right wrongs and admonish our sins. Israel Horovtiz’s play Lebensraum imagines one such scenario, in which a German chancellor attempts to redeem the past by inviting six million Jews to return to Germany as full citizens. Of course, there’s no way to know if history truly is repetitive until it’s too late. In the staged reading at Amphibian Stage Productions (120 S. Main St., Fort Worth) this weekend, three actors take on 40 characters in the play that The New York Times called, “powerful and touching.” See it at 2 p.m. Sunday or 7 p.m. Monday. Tickets are $17 for adults, $7 for students. More information available at amphibianproductions.org.

Sun., June 8, 2 p.m.; Mon., June 9, 7 p.m., 2014
