HITLER ON THE ROOF - Akvavit Theatre
Akvavit Theatre is proud to present the US premiere of Rhea Leman's "Hitler On The Roof" a play for two clowns. Written during an alarming rise of Danish Nationalism in 2011, this biting comedy is a timely reminder of the consequences of selling Lies as Truth and Propaganda as Art.
This prescient Danish play finds the Nazi propagandist Dr. Joseph Goebbels (Amy Gorelow) and filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl (Jay Torrence) doomed to a perpetual afterlife in which to confront their pasts. Locked deep down inside the present day Führerbunker, the two engage in cunning feats of denial, manipulation and pure slapstick.
