Summary
Join your fellow LPTW'ers to read and analyze plays book club style in a virtual meeting.
Synopsis:
Johanna Cohn Stern will go on to become one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century, and perhaps the most influential. But at the moment, no one has heard of her, or even of the name she writes under: Hannah Arendt. Karl Frick is a young officer, recently promoted from the criminal division to the political police force, a new division in 1933 Berlin. His first interrogation in this job promises to be a most challenging one. Is Mrs. Stern an innocent who pressed a button on a mimeograph machine at the wrong moment? Or is she an enemy of the state? A fantastical drama about one of our deepest thinkers, inspired by real events.
