In 1939 in Berlin, the Frau, who used to direct propaganda films for the
fascist government, is trying to make an epic film of her own. She casts
herself in the lead role of the Amazon Queen, who falls in love with
Achilles on the battlefield. She recruits a man from the Jewish ghetto
to play her dashing Achilles, and a gorgeous young man, a Romany gypsy, to
play Achilles’ on-camera companion and lover, Petroclus. But things get
complicated when the men’s off-camera life is revealed to be an imitation
of their on-camera art.

Meanwhile, the Frau’s long-suffering sister, an Extra whose specialty is
spectacularly dying on camera, is trying to get the Frau to wake up to the
ominous goings-on in the world around them.

AMAZONS AND THEIR MEN runs Thu-Sat at 8 pm through Aug 30 at the Liminis
theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont
neighborhood. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 seniors, $10
students.  Reservations and info are available at
