Presented by Forum Theatre
By Jordan Harrison
Directed by Michael Dove & Elissa Goetschius
Saturday, February 27 – Saturday, March 20, 2010

Famous (and infamous) for glamorizing a fascist regime in her propaganda films, a young director seeks artistic vindication. In her latest film, she creates a fantasy world of drama and beauty ‑ casting herself in the role of an Amazon Queen, tormented by love for the war-hero, Achilles. But in the real world, another war is brewing. Set in Third Reich Germany and based loosely on the life of Leni Riefenstahl (director of Triumph of the Will), Amazons and Their Men chronicles the creation of Art ‑ and the collapse of a society. A DC area premiere from Forum Theatre, the company whose Helen Hayes Award nominated staging of Angels to America thrilled audiences at Round House Silver Spring in Fall 2009.

Pay-What-You-Can Previews of Amazons: Thurs., Feb 25 & Fri., Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. Tickets available at the door that evening at Round House Theatre Silver Spring. 2 per person. Cash & exact change only.
