Main House:
Quite a find, this. Kate Fodor's play, originally seen off-Broadway, is a prize example of the pedagogical genre. By which I mean that you will leave the theatre not only entertained, but almost certainly smarter. Fodor's subject is the relationship between German philosopher Martin Heidegger and his student (and sometime lover) Hannah Arendt. The play opens after the war, with the Jewish Arendt – flourishing in exile in the US – worrying whether Heidegger (having been a Nazi mascot) deserves sympathy. Fodor's organisation is impeccable. The big ideas are clearly expressed through dialogue, and the story moves in elegant loops from the present (where Arendt is covering the Nuremberg trials for The New Yorker) to the past, and back again. Vivienne Rowdon is excellent in the lead. And, if you look beyond Pat Garrett's rather underwhelming production, you'll find a thoroughly creditable piece of theatre.
