BONHOEFFER 1945
Bonhoeffer 1945 is a dramatic two-hander starring D. Paul Thomas as Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Nicholas Hormann as the Judge Advocate. Filmed live at the 50th Edinburgh Festival Fringe, this critically-acclaimed production is now available on video to be streamed and downloaded, accompanied by a concise Study Guide written by Dr. Gary Hall, former Dean of the Washington National Cathedral.
The play is set in the Wehrmacht Military Prison during Bonhoeffer’s incarceration. In a serious of interrogations, the Judge Advocate subjects Bonhoeffer to rigorous cross-examination—questioning his truthfulness, challenging his faith, implicating his friends, and threatening his family. This powerful dramatization moves quickly beyond a simple profile to explore the subtlety, the contradictions, and the humanity of Pastor Bonhoeffer. Perhaps more than ever, Bonhoeffer’s voice is relevant to the challenges of our time. You’ll find Bonhoeffer 1945 a fresh and moving interpretation of one of the most enigmatic and influential figures of the 20 th century.
