Description: 

TELEGRAPH’S #1 Theatre Pick, Edinburgh Fringe 2017

Based on Eleanor Ramrath Garner’s best-selling memoir, this internationally acclaimed adaptation—performed by her granddaughter, Ingrid Garner—details Eleanor’s youth as an American caught in WWII Berlin.

During the Great Depression, 9-year-old Eleanor’s family moves from the U.S. to Germany in pursuit of work. But when war breaks out as they are crossing the Atlantic, return to America becomes impossible. While desperate for Allied victory, the family faces bombings, Gestapo threats, the final battle for Berlin, and the perils of Russian occupation.

Punctuated with humor and accompanied by cinematic sound and video, Garner embodies her ancestors in this coming-of-age odyssey, delivering an account of war more relevant than ever.

Company Statement:

Ingrid Garner is an award-winning playwright/actor based in Los Angeles. Her work highlights exceptional stories of tenacious women in fierce circumstances.

The LBP Studio Collaborative Season offers outside, local theatre companies and performing arts organizations the opportunity to produce their own shows in our Studio Theater.
