Events Description
Complicity rarely announces itself.
From Tony- and Oscar-winning writer Christopher Hampton and based on the real-life testimony of Brunhilde Pomsel, secretary to Joseph Goebbels in 1940s Germany, A German Life traces one woman’s extraordinary life inside a regime built on propaganda and terror.
At the age of 103, Pomsel looks back and recounts her work, her choices, and her daily survival. Hampton’s adaptation examines the incremental slide – the quiet rationalizations and small concessions through which ordinary people become entangled in extraordinary evil.
A German Life is a meditation on memory, guilt, and the fragile line between complicity and innocence.
The play stars Canadian theatre legend Fiona Reid, whose work has been seen across the country at Stratford, Shaw, and beyond, including on film, in My Big Fat Greek Wedding and The Time Traveler’s Wife, and on Broadway, in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
