WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The multiple Obie-Award winning theatre company Clubbed Thumb is proud to present Amazons and Their Men by Jordan Harrison, directed by Ken Rus Schmoll.
In Amazons and Their Men the Frau used to make beautiful films for a fascist government. Now she's trying to direct a film that's simply beautiful. The Frau casts herself in the lead role of the Amazon queen Penthesilea, who falls for Achilles on the battlefield of the Trojan War. But when her actors start disappearing, it becomes difficult for the Frau to ignore the real war outside her sound stage. Inspired by the life and work of Leni Riefenstahl.

Leni Riefenstahl was one of the most accomplished and infamous filmmakers of the 20th Century, best known for her groundbreaking film of the Nazi Nuremberg rally, Triumph of the Will. While in her later life she insisted she made a documentary rather than propaganda, her entire career and legacy has been marked by her association with the Nazi party. Jordan Harrison's intriguing yet flawed Amazons and Their Men, currently being presented by Clubbed Thumb at the Ohio Theater, tells a fictional account of the filmmaker's aborted project Penthesilea, examining her complicity with what was going on around her.
