Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Marsha Mason (The Goodbye Girl) leads an ensemble cast as Fanny Farrelly in Lillian Hellman’s suspenseful masterpiece Watch on the Rhine. With America on the brink of entering World War II, Fanny’s daughter escapes to the suburbs of Washington, D.C., with her German husband, a man deeply involved in anti-fascist movements. But with an Eastern European guest harboring ulterior motives living in their midst, tensions rise. No one’s safety — at home or abroad — can be guaranteed.
