"This very engaging play, 'Hannah and Martin' by Kate Fodor, in a polished production by Laterthanever, deftly directed by Francine Chemnick, begins at that point, with Hannah Arendt – who had successfully decamped to America – supposedly covering the postwar trial of Hitler Jugend leader Baldur von Schirach for 'The New Yorker'..."
