My overall impression
I was quick to buy a ticket for this show, because it had the ring of authentic History—-and I was not disappointed! Ingrid Garner has skillfully adapted her own grandmother’s story of being a child relocated from America to Nazi Germany throughout WWII, and after. She herself plays all the parts, abetted by a rear-projection screen with black-and-white stills of the 1940s. It’s a completely riveting hour, although her adaptation didn’t answer all of the questions which occurred to me as I was watching it. However, she graciously answered them herself, after the show in the lobby as she was plugging her grandma’s own paperback book! Only one thing detracted, markedly: she wore throughout the ugliest dress I’ve ever seen on ANY stage! It may be period-correct, but it needs to be corrected!
