A reading, with music, of Uwe Wittstock’s “February 1933: The Winter of Literature,” abridged by acclaimed German novelist-playwright Daniel Kehlmann.
Directed by Tony-nominated Knud Adams and featuring music supervised by composer/pianist Dan Schlosberg, the piece traces the swift collapse of Weimar Germany’s literary world — following figures like Thomas Mann and Bertolt Brecht — as Hitler’s rise forces choices of flight, complicity, or defiance.
“February 1933” resonates powerfully with the perils of present-day American democracy and the ongoing fight to preserve the freedoms to read and write.
World premiere.
This performance will be followed by a Meet the Makers conversation with the creative team.
