“It’s an indulgence to sit in a room and discuss your beliefs as if they were a juicy piece of gossip.” From the Farrellys’ living room in Washington, the Nazis and the war in Europe seem very far away – until the war comes to them, when Fanny’s daughter Sara brings her anti-fascist husband home after twenty years abroad. Kurt, Sara, and their children aren’t Fanny’s only guests, and conflict soon arises between them and an opportunistic count with Nazi sympathies, forcing the Farrellys to choose between standing by and standing up.

Watch on the Rhine confronts an American family with the struggle between fascists and freedom fighters in their own home: Lillian Hellman strips away the civility and intrigue of a comedy to reveal the violence and immediacy of a political thriller, showing us the impossibility of shutting our eyes to the crisis around us.

Dive in.
