Minna February 12, 2010

Trap Door Theatre presents 'Minna' by Howard Barker, directed by Nicole Wiesner. Set in a mythical world that swings between the 18th Century and the 1950's, 'Minna' is Howard Barker's ferocious view of war and sexual politics. Minna Von Barnhelm is the light and airy heroine of Lessing's Enlightenment-era comedy, but in Barker's nightmarish world, her single minded pursuit of atrocity compels her to commit atrocity herself.
