Thumb is proud to present Amazons and
Their Men by Jordan Harrison, directed by Ken Rus Schmoll at The Ohio
Theatre (66 Wooster Street
btwn. Spring and Broome).
"In Amazons and Their
Men the Frau used to make beautiful films for a fascist government. Now
she's trying to direct a film that's simply beautiful. The Frau casts herself
in the lead role of the Amazon queen Penthesilea, who falls for Achilles on the
battlefield of the Trojan War. But when her actors start disappearing, it
becomes difficult for the Frau to ignore the real war outside her sound stage.
Inspired by the life and work of Leni Riefenstahl," explain press notes.
