4 Male, 4 Female
Kate Fodor Price: $8.00
Hannah and Martin is based on the relationship between the
Jewish political theorist Hannah Arendt and the renowned
philosopher Martin Heidegger
In Germany in the 1920s, Heidegger and Arendt have a tumultuous love affair while he is a professor and she is his admiring student
But as the National Socialists come to power, Heidegger uses his fame and brilliance to help further the goals of the party
After the devastation of World War II, Arendt, who has fled to America and become a respected public figure in her own right, returns to Germany and visits Heidegger at the home he shares with his wife
There she struggles to come to terms with his involvement with the Nazis and to understand what he still means to her
“… [a] smart and shapely debut work…an impressive accomplishment
— and something of a gift for audiences who would rather leave
the theater thinking long thoughts than scratching their bellies”
