After two SOLD OUT runs, the 16-time award-winning hit returns to the Winnipeg Fringe Festival!

Based on Eleanor Ramrath Garner’s award-winning memoir, this internationally acclaimed adaptation (written and performed by her granddaughter, Ingrid Garner) details Eleanor’s youth as an American caught in WWII Berlin.

During the Great Depression, when she is nine, Eleanor’s family moves from the U.S. to Germany in pursuit of work. But when war breaks out as they are crossing the Atlantic, return to America becomes impossible. While desperate for Allied victory, the family faces Allied bombings, hunger, Gestapo threats, the final battle for Berlin, and the perils of Russian occupation.

Eighty years later, Eleanor’s granddaughter embodies her ancestors to deliver this timely coming-of-age odyssey. Accompanied by cinematic sound and video, and punctuated with humor, the performance offers valuable wisdom on maintaining stability, hope and identity in dark times.
