The Cherry Orchard Festival presents the New York premiere of ADDRESS UNKOWN, a playstarring pianist Evgeny Kissin and baritone Thomas Hampson in acting-only roles, based on the anti-fascist novel by Kathrine Kressmann Taylor banned in 1930s Germany. The performance will take place on April 17, 2024 at 8:00pm at The Town Hall, 123 W 43rd St, New York, NY 10036. Tickets are $65-$225 and are available now at https://cherryorchardfestival.org/2024_address-unknown.

In an era of austerity, recession, and rising nationalism, two friends are torn apart when the Nazi regime infiltrates their friendship and families to devastating effect. Based on the bestselling book, written as an anti-fascist call to arms and banned in 1930s Germany for dramatically exposing the threat of Nazism, ADDRESS UNKNOWN is a timely warning of how humanity can fail in the face of extreme ideology.
