Times Like These

Set in 1930’s Berlin, John O’Keefe’s incisive and passionate play stars the original, award-winning cast, Laurie O’Brien and Norbert Weisser, and is directed by John O’Keefe himself. Based on a true story, Times Like These tells the story of two actors, a Jewish woman and her “Aryan” husband, resisting the rise of Nazism. The woman, while trapped in her Berlin apartment, coaches her devoted husband in his upcoming appearance as Hamlet in the Nazi-controlled German State theatre.
