Playwright’s Night – Varian
February 2 @ 7:00 pm
Event Navigation
Varian is a new solo play about the journey of Varian Fry, an American writer and editor, who traveled to Vichy France during World War II. He helped rescue Anti-Nazi and Jewish refugees, including artists Marc Chagall and Max Ernst, writer André Breton, and philosopher Hannah Arendt. A determined, clever and, at times, a very naive man, Varian used his energy to save thousands of lives. When traveling to a world that was not his own, he managed to employ a variety of legal and illegal efforts to rescue a collection of celebrated scientists, intellectuals, and artists, as well as everyday refugees from across Europe. Varian is the second play in A Resilience Trilogy by Michael London.
