TALKINGWITHANGELS: Budapest, 1943
adapted & performed by Shelley Mitchell • originally staged by Robin Fontaine * Directed by Ryon Baxter
A life-changing true story about four young artists and their encounter with otherworldly beings.
Shelley Mitchell will be performing her adaptation of Gitta Mallasz’s French bestseller TALKINGWITHANGELS: Budapest, 1943 at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, June 3-18. Talking with Angels is the true story of Olympic athlete and Yad Vashem honoree Gitta Mallasz. She was a Holocaust rescuer and the only survivor of a group of four close-knit young artists who, despite the chaos in Nazi occupied Hungary, held weekly gatherings where they transcribed channeled messages they received from what appeared to them at the time to be angels –four distinctly different personalities— who gave council and comfort to the quartet over a period of 17 months.
