Mrs. Stern...
Berlin, 1933. With martial law in effect, political activism has become a capital crime. A young Gestapo officer arrests a graduate student suspected of illegal research. This interrogation promises to be most challenging as he faces the iconic 20th-century thinker Hannah Arendt. Is she an innocent woman? Or an enemy of the state? Inspired by real events, this fantastical drama delves into the life and mind of one of history's most profound thinkers.

—Susan Wallner, Jersey Arts
"A riveting revelation of insight and courage"
—Ruth Ross, NJ Arts Maven
"Thoughtful and thought-provoking! Get tickets today and take your sharpest friends with you... I came away wanting to know more, and with the desire to engage someone very far on the other side of the ideological fence. The right time is now""
—Sherri Rase, Q Onstage
"In a moment of intense polarization in our own political discourse, the play is more than a history lesson and a drama;
it's also a dissertation on how to speak to another person across a seemingly impassable gulf."
—Johanna R. Ginsberg, New Jersey Jewish News
""brilliantly directed by Luna's Artistic Director Ari Laura Kreith"
—Karen Lehrman Bloch, Jewish Journal
"This is a very worthy play and I won't be surprised if it makes the leap to New York City where it really does belong..."
—Peter Filichia, Broadway Radio
