PRODUCTION NOTES

New Yorker Zillah flees Reagan's America to take up refuge in Berlin, Germany in the apartment of long-dead leftist Agnes. During the fall of the Weimar Republic and the rise of the Nazi Party Agnes' flat became a safe haven for her artistic, left leaning and nonconformist friends.

Huddled around her kitchen table they discuss the ups and downs of Germany's failing democracy and the rise of the authoritarian Adolf Hitler. But they, like many concerned about the Nazis, fail to speak out against Hitler's ascent to power. They play moves between eras with Zillah's outpourings of moral outrage.

Kushner's play, inspired by what he saw as the excesses and wrongs of Regan's America, still rings true today in a world where wars are begun in the name of democracy and freedom, whilst government proposes to detain 'terrorists' for indefinite periods and where society is increasingly fractured between 'us' and 'them'.
