WINTER SOLSTICE
NOVEMBER 23, 2024 - DECEMBER 14, 2024
by ROLAND SCHIMMELPFENNIG
translated by DAVID TUSHINGHAM
directed by BRADLEY MICHALAKIS
A dark holiday comedy where family dysfunction runs deeper.
Christmas Eve: Bettina and her husband Albert aren’t happy. Bettina’s mother is staying for the holidays, which is awkward, not least because Bettina’s mother met a man on the train, and now she’s invited him over for dinner. 'Winter Solstice,' a razor-sharp comedy by award-winning German playwright Roland Schimmelpfennig, plays with liberalism's inability to immunize itself against fascism’s rhetorical power in this wildly theatrical and inventive production.
“The play chillingly details how ideas we think of as purely evil could once have been so appealing.”
