Heller Theater Presents Kate Fodor's HANNAH AND MARTIN 4/3, 4/4
Heller Theatre will present "Hannah and Martin" by Kate Fodor at Clark Theatre, 11440 E Admiral, on April 3 & 4 at 8pm and Sunday, April 5, at 2pm
Tickets are $10 and all money received will go to help send the production to the regional contest in Texas. The "Round The Bend Players" will also be helping out with the fundraising by promoting an auction with all the proceeds going to the effort. The play is for mature audiences and has adult themes.
Heller Theatre has moved to the new location at Henthorne Park (4825 S Quaker) but is not ready to open. Clark Theatre (which is run by the same staff) will host a few of the Heller productions until the building is ready to open.
The play "Hannah and Martin" by Kate Fodor, is based on the true story of the relationship between the Jewish political theorist Hannah Arendt and the renowned philosopher Martin Heidegger. In Germany in the 1920s, Heidegger and Arendt have a tumultuous love affair while he is a professor and she is his admiring student. But as the National Socialist come to power, Heidegger uses his fame and brilliance to help further the goals of the Nazi party. After the devastation of World War II, Arendt, who has fled to America and has become a respected public figure in her own right. She returns to Germany where she struggles to come to terms with his involvement with the Nazis and to understand what he still means to her.
David Gray plays Heidegger and Harriet Chenault, who one best actress at the Oklahoma State Conference plays Hannah Arendt. Julie Tattershall, who won the Best Director Award at the State conference, directs the production. Anthony Batchelder is technical director.
This production will be one of two plays representing Oklahoma in the Regional Festival in Kerrville, Texas on April 16-19, 2009.
