A TRUE TALE OF RESISTANCE DURING WWII A funny, biting, poignant, relevant play!
Agnete Ottosen was tough, unsentimental, and remarkable. When World War II broke out, Ottosen immediately joined the Danish Resistance and writing for an underground newspaper. She was captured and tortured by the Gestapo and imprisoned in the notorious Ravensbrück concentration camp. This is her true tale of heartbreak, joy, survival, and perseverance while facing enormous obstacles during the war and in the years after.
Sonny Mills has woven humor and levity into their great-aunt's true tale of resistance, giving audiences historical insight and critical reflection on some of the most urgent issues of our time - nationalism, justice, and freedom. A story few have heard of but everyone should know.
With an unprecedented inaugural run in Canada, Three Crows is elated to present the US premiere of The Danish Play.
