Tilda Swinton is currently starring in Manfred Karge’s play, 'Man to Man', at the Royal Court Theatre in London. This marks her return to the role she first performed 39 years ago.
The production includes a new 28th scene written by Karge, which addresses the renaissance of Nazi ideology in Germany. This coda is being premiered five days after the far-right AfD party topped state polls in Saxony-Anhalt.
The play is a multi-character monologue that begins in Germany in the 1930s. It tells the story of Ella Gericke, who takes on her deceased husband Max's identity and job as a crane operator. The production is scheduled to travel to Edinburgh, Berlin, and New York.
Why this matters: The play's new section on the renaissance of Nazi ideology has a stinging topicality, premiering shortly after the far-right AfD party topped state polls in Saxony-Anhalt.
