In Gil Kofman’s smart, hilarious play fresh from a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Obie Award-winning actress Jodie Markell plays Hitler’s notorious filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl. Framed as a macabre cabaret that takes place in an ethereal editing room, Leni attempts to re-edit her controversial Nazi past and make it more palatable. Directed by Richard Caliban (“legendary downtown theater-maker” —Village Voice), this wild ride of a play received top awards at United Solo Fest: Best Script, Best Actor, and Best Director.
