About the show

1933 Berlin. With martial law in effect, political activism has become a capital crime. When a young Gestapo officer arrests a philosophy graduate student, her interrogation will endanger them both. Direct from its critically acclaimed Off-Broadway premiere, Jenny Lyn Bader’s new play – inspired by the real-life arrest of Hannah Arendt – illuminates the struggle for human connection and moral imagination in dark times. North American new writing theatre Luna Stage and Olivier, Tony and Emmy Award-winning producer Richard Jordan return to the Traverse following their 2025 Scotsman Fringe First sell-out production RIFT.
