BOGO offer for Red Hen’s “Forbidden"

The evening's chief pleasure is watching Liz Conway's sexy intelligence as the danger-courting Felice -- her angular unsentimentality continually brings layers of surprise to the script. Elizabeth Wood makes hausfrau Lily both soft-hearted and occasionally soft-headed, a nice contrast. Playwright Pat Rowe has chosen tiny details to illuminate the bureaucratic oppressions of the Nazis -- like Jews not being allowed to own a bicycle. It's a fascinating story that asks questions about idealizing Holocaust victims, even as it simply presents the human tragedy. 

Linda Eisenstein, Cool Cleveland, 10.05.05

 

Conway is superb as the feisty and beautiful Felice whose bohemian way of life is attractive to the older, more conventional Lily. Conway beautifully conveys the courage and the fear of a very young woman, grown wise beyond her years, trying both to survive and aid other Jews.

Fran Heller, Cleveland Jewish News, 10.06.05

 

Conway does a fantastic job of expressing Felice’s compelling personality and her refusal to act the victim. Lilly (Elizabeth R. Wood) is clearly the more dependent of the two, but nonetheless brave in her transition from deliberate ignorance to rejection of the Nazi agenda. It was a pleasure to see the depth and breadth of the women’s individual personalities, as well as the wonderfully conveyed love between them.

Dorothy C. Miller, 10.12.05

Forbidden, by Pat Rowe, is the story of Lilly, the wife of a Nazi officer and mother of four, who falls in love with Felice, a woman hiding her Jewish identity. Set in Berlin in 1943, it is based on the true story of their relationship. This riveting play about identity, racism, defiance and passion, gives an intimate look at the damage done by anti-Semitism, homophobia and fascism to those they sought to destroy, and to those who were part of the Nazi leadership. This smash hit of the 2004 Edinburgh Fringe Festival reminds us of our common humanity and that love respects no boundaries or ideology. Directed by Karen Gygli, this play contains adult content. 

For reservations or information call the Red Hen Box Office at (216) 556-0910 or visit the website at www.feministtheatre.org 

Change YOUR world with Red Hen.
