Mrs. Stern Wanders the Prussian State Library

by Jenny Lyn Bader

Berlin, 1933.

With martial law in effect, political activism has become a capital crime. A young Gestapo officer arrests a philosophy grad student. Interrogating her could be dangerous for them both. Inspired by real events—and by the life and mind of one of history's most profound thinkers.

This summer, Mrs. Stern Wanders the Prussian State Library was recommended byThe Times of London as one of the 40 Best Shows to see at the Edinburgh Festivals.

Now it returns to New York where it has been named one of the New York Times’ 25 Plays to Catch Off-Broadway This (Very) Busy September!

The New York premiere of Mrs. Stern made TheatreScene's 2024 10 Best list and Cititour's "Hot 5 Off-Broadway shows" and received a "Must-See" from Show-Score audiences and a "Best" recommendation from Air Mail's Alessandra Stanley. Our two Off-Broadway runs sold out, as did our European premiere at the Traverse Theatre."

But there are still tickets for our run in New York this fall! Come see us at 59E59 Theaters, September 12-October 25.
