About This Event
Presented by Upbeat Performances, Bonhoeffer-Last Days covers the last few days of the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer: German dissident, theologian and conspirator against Hitler. He had previously stood up to the Nazis and been told to stop giving public lectures. He did not and was arrested. After several months in prison, a letter was found by the Gestapo tying him to a plot to have Adolf Hitler assassinated, and he was moved to Flossenbürg Maximum Security Prison and condemned to death by hanging.
This theatrical production is brought to the stage by renowned director (and co-producer), Alan Baxter. An extremely important and relevant work, Bonhoeffer-Last Days addresses current and provocative themes, such as the present-day fascination and support of fascism and far-right politics; the rising racism against ethnic groups manifested by attacks against and police brutality of African Americans; and the worldwide rise of antisemitism.
Thomas Romano wrote the script, and Frank Romano is co-producer and lead actor.
