Kinderspiel
In the seedy and seditious demimonde of Weimar Berlin, five lost souls find each other (and sold-out audiences) when they create a scandalous club where adults play like children…and customers pay to watch.

Kinderspiel tells the story of how a burnt-out expressionist dancer, a young Jewish heir, a trendsetting lesbian journalist, a conservative war widow, and a Utopian Communist joined together and accidentally created a curious fetish that became a revolutionary movement.

“Think No Exit decked out in fishnets and Art Deco decay…The overall effect is haunting.” -Raven Snook, Time Out NY “Best Bet”
“A delectable frolic. Brilliantly developed and performed.” -Stephen Paschalides, Flavorpill
“Awfully clever…they’re dramatic Robin Hoods, stealing from a rich theatrical past and producing for a poorly educated present.” -Aaron Riccio, PBS’s New Theatre Corps
“While I’m all for there being many new American plays as challenging and original as this one, I doubt we will be that lucky…Required viewing.” -Martin Denton, NYtheatre.com “Pick of the Week”
