The Play... Max and Karl are best friends and students at a prestigious Berlin art academy in the 1930s. As social freedoms erode and the nation becomes increasingly polarized, Karl, a rising star of the avant-garde, is labeled a Degenerate, while Max, the traditionalist, takes advantage of the shifting tides. When the situation between them becomes impossible, one of them escapes Germany in a gut-wrenching, twisted betrayal. Forty years later the survivor, now a world renowned artist, struggles with both his failing health and the ghosts of his past. Margaret Lewis, the award-winning playwright of Burying the Bones, has penned a provocative, cautionary tale of personal ambition and cultural tyranny. |
Sunday Symposiums Stage Left's mission is to bring you politically and socially-themed plays that will rouse your senses, charge your mind, and most importantly, raise debate. So every Sunday after our matinee performance we give you a chance to discuss the issues of the play up close and personal with the artists who just told you the story. We can tailor these symposiums to your group's interests, given advance notice. Or come yourself or with a friend and have your voice heard! |
