Hannah and Martin
by Kate Fodor
directed by Jeremy B. Cohen

Winner of six Jeffs and featuring the cast and crew that made this production a sensation last spring, we are thrilled to bring back TimeLine’s biggest hit.

Jewish political theorist Hannah Arendt is thrown into turmoil when her lover and mentor, the renowned philosopher Martin Heidegger, develops ties to the Nazi party and becomes a vocal supporter of Hitler. After the war, she returns to Germany and must weigh the consequences of forgiving Martin for his actions and question whether or not love can truly conquer all.

“Fodor charts a course of passion, controversy, rage, and finally, a realization that it is not always easy to condemn,” wrote Windy City Times. “It challenges, entertains, enlightens. It is a nearly flawless theatrical experience.”
