Brava Studio Sessions presents a staged reading of
HELGA & ESTHER: Stockholm 1944
A new play by Cristina Garcia
Esther is a poet, a refugee from Nazi Germany, now in Stockholm with her ailing mother but facing deportation back to Berlin. Helga, a visionary Swedish painter, becomes her intimate friend and confidante. These two driven artists are thrown together as the last winter of World War II approaches and Helga hides Esther in her dilapidated country barn. Both are coming to terms with loves lost, political betrayal, uncertain legacies, and the price of neutrality. HELGA & ESTHER is a play about the enduring need for art, allegiances, and love in dangerous times.
Written by Cristina Garcia
Directed by Adrian Alexander Alea
Choreographed by Brett Conway
Original Music by Ben Kutner
Stage Managed by Claire Calderon
Featuring Pilar Garcia Brown, Heidi Carlsen, Brett Conway, Steve Ortiz, and Pascale Roger.
