SYNOPSIS:

DIETRICH & MARIA is the true love story of German pastor, theologian, and spy, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and his fiance, Maria Von Wedemeyer. Based on their real life prison letters, the story takes place in Germany during the early days of WWII, with Dietrich imprisoned on charges of conspiracy for his alleged role in a plot to assasinate Adolf Hitler. The play is set during one of Maria's secret prison visits to Dietrich.​

ABOUT THE SHOW:

DIETRICH & MARIA is a "two-hander", which means only two actors will be on stage for the entire show. If you've never attended a one or two person play, you are in for a treat. A stage full of actors is what creates another world, certainly; but a well executed two-hander casts an intimate spell and creates a moment. Audience members will be invited, not just into a prison sitting room, but into the complex relationship between a righteous man and a fearless woman and the deep bond of love they shared. 

THE ACTORS:

The roles of DIETRICH BONHOEFFER and MARIA VON WEDEMEYER will be played by veteran Canadian stage actors, Marc A. Moir and Laura Kathleen Turner. These industry professionals have been acting opposite each other for the better part of 15 years and are honoured to be bringing the beautiful and stark humanity of DIETRICH & MARIA to the stage for the very first time.

 

A SPECIAL NOTE:

By attending the show, you will be one of the first people in the entire world to to ever experience this beautiful story on stage. We think that's really cool, and we are honoured to be sharing such a special evening with you.
