The laughs, loves, heartbreaks, defeats and triumphs of a great woman told with all the resources of modern musical theatre.
The Five Theas
Five women. One extraordinary life. Thea von Harbou is played by five actors, one for each phase of her life and career: the actor, the screenwriter, the celebrity, the artist, and the survivor. Each Thea is the focus of one scene to create a five-scene play in two acts.
Dynamic Staging
Projected scenery and a video wall with a few moving platforms create a fluid visual experience highlighted with episodes of dance, pantomime, and puppetry. A few pieces of hard scenery, some furniture, varied lighting effects, period costumes, and an abundance of imagination re-create Germany before and after two World Wars.
The Man Who Says No
All the men who seek to impede, obscure, and exploit her are played by the same actor. Eight roles in one, including her father, her husbands, and others. All the other roles are played by a protean chorus of six men and six women.
