“Radical, transfixing play...a potent play for today." -The Guardian
"A timely warning about the risks of “normalization." "Strongly recommended.” -The Independent
"the most exciting new play I have seen in years.” -Express
Fascism doesn’t show up in jackboots and swastikas. It arrives in the form of a polite older gentleman on Christmas Eve.
Schimmelpfennig's play about the failure of liberal intellectuals to confront the historic danger of extremism was written in 2015 in a German context, and it's universal relevance has only become more striking in 2017. Winter Solstice is a portrait of liberal impotence in the face of blind conviction. Will these well-meaning dedicated people take action when facism is entertaining them in their living room?
WInter Solstice is Apollinaire Theatre’s second Schimmelpfennig US Premiere, the first being Peggy Picket Sees the Face of God directed by Megan Sandberg-Zakian in 2014. We also featured Schimmelpfennig’s Arabian Nights in our Foreign Fest.
