MRS. STERN WANDERS THE PRUSSIAN STATE LIBRARY

Written by Jenny Lyn Bader

Produced by Luna Stage

Directed by Ari Laura Kreith

Costumes by Deborah Caney

Lighting by Cameron Filepas

Sound by Megan Culley

59E59

“Director Ari Laura Kreith’s physical staging artfully relies on swiftness and realism, as the actors are perpetually moved around the set for visual variance. Scenic designer Lauren Helpern’s airy off-white jail cell is set with a table and chairs; high rectangular windows with shadowy prison bars queasily register the gravity of Arendt’s situation.”

-- theaterscene.org

“Lauren Helpern set strikes just the right chord, its barren simplicity a metaphor for this time in Germany’s history.  A tiny cell with brick walls, two chairs and a clawfoot antique table – a remnant of a more human, rococo world Germany is abandoning – and windows that remain tantalizingly out of reach above.  In its near silent, twilit isolation, Hannah’s cell becomes an unlikely oasis of free thought, away from the unknown change and untold terrors outside.”
