The 1961 American courtroom drama film “Judgment at Nuremberg,” directed by Stanley Kramer with a screenplay by Abby Mann, fictionalized a military tribunal against German judges and prosecutors for atrocities committed under the Nazi regime. The complex historical material is perfectly suited to L.A. Theatre Works’ live radio theater-style performances. The production comes to the Mondavi Center’s Jackson Hall at 8 p.m., Tuesday, April 18. 1 Shields Ave., Davis. 530-754-2787; mondavi.ucdavis.edu
