Hannah and Martin brings to life the ethical dilemmas that arose in the years following the Holocaust. A sensual, deeply felt drama of ideas, it mines the dynamics of loyalty and desire to raise questions about forgiveness, academic freedom, and individual and collective responsibility.

The play journeys through our collective past, as Jewish intellectual Hannah Arendt struggles to justify her enduring feelings for Nazi-sympathizing philosopher Martin Heidegger, her former mentor and sometime lover. As it explores the horrors of the Holocaust and its aftermath, Fodor's argumentative play bristles with subtle insights relevant in today’s world.
