"See The Germans in Paris for $9


Jonathan Leaf's The Germans in Paris is a lyrical mixture of high seriousness and romantic comedy tracing the intersecting lives of three exiles: the poet, Heinrich Heine, the composer Richard Wagner, and the revolutionary, Karl Marx, as they make their way through the salons, jails and dueling grounds of 1840s Paris. James Milton directs.
Deidre McFayden of offoffonline.com praised The Germans in Paris for its "sparkling dialogue and abundant wit" and said that "Leaf, a nimble thinker and accomplished stylist, manages to challenge and engage the audience." And Peter McKay for TheCinemasource.com said, "The wonderful new play, The Germans in Paris, is a shining gem in the sometimes unpredictable world of off-Broadway theatre... Leaf is one to watch. His use of language is clean and pure, and his characters jump off the page, even before they are embodied by the actors who are lucky enough to portray them...

I am bumping because it's a great show with a great cast. We're being reviewed and possibly featured in many top newspapers, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time Out NY, etc etc.

People are spending Broadway bucks to see "The Coast of Utopia" at Lincoln Center, but only a few blocks away at the Arclight Theatre, "The Germans in Paris" covers some of the same ground as Tom Stoppard's trilogy.

Created by rising American playwright Jonathan Leaf, "The Germans in Paris" details the intersecting lives of three exiles. Radical Karl Marx, anti-Semitic composer Richard Wagner and womanizing poet Heinrich Heine land in a glittering Paris of the 1840s. Duels, love affairs and arguments about politics and art ensue.

The play is staged by James Milton, artistic director of Verse Theater Manhattan, with a nine-member ensemble headed by Angelica Torn.
