With the rise of global fascism and after an acclaimed World Premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe and a workshop production at United Solo Festival that won Best Script, Best Actress and Best Director, LENI’S LAST LAMENT makes its US Premiere. This darkly satirical play with music is written by Gil Kofman, directed by Richard Caliban, and stars Obie Award winner Jodie Markell as propagandist filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl.

In LENI’S LAST LAMENT, Hitler’s controversial filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl brazenly poses as a misunderstood victim as she attempts to justify and sanitize her notorious past. Set in Leni’s editing room and presented as a macabre, comic cabaret with a live accordionist, the timely play is a wild, ironic ride full of hard-to-believe insights into this provocative figure as she desperately reassembles her life to create a more palatable portrait.
