“Girls Kill Nazis”

November 11, 2018 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

Girls Kill Nazis
James Kopp
Pear Theatre
Jennifer Sorkin-Kopp, Heather Mae Steffen, 
Diane Tasca, Stephanie Crowley, and Jim Johnson
The Nancy Wake Book Club meets every Friday night in the oldest continually operating library in Arizona, the Copper Queen Library of Bisbee, Arizona.  Named after a famous, French resistance fighter of World War II, the club has just two stated purposes: 
1. Read famous things.
2. Kill Nazis.

Pear Theatre presents a funny, yet deadly serious world premiere by James Kopp set in some not-too-distant, future entitled Girls Kill Nazis.  In yet another close, presidential election decided (yet again) in the final count by Florida, the successors of the former alt-right movement, the American Nazi Party, has won.  And while every day there are now public, televised announcements (generously paid for by the Evangelical Nazi Church of America) urging citizens to blow the whistles around their necks if they see any Mexicans, Muslims, or Negros (especially when more than two of them and after dark), four women of Bisbee are not paying attention to such nonsense.  They remain steadily undeterred in their club’s mission.  

For my full review, please continue to Talkin’ Broadway: https://www.talkinbroadway.com/page/regional/sanjose/sj144.html.
