Hannah and Martin, now playing (only thru July 2) at the Lyceum Theatre in San Diego is a wonderful play. My sister (Francine) directed it; the cast is amazing and the show a must see if you live in the area.
Excerpts from NPR's Pat Launer's review:
__________________________________
THE PLAYER/THE PRODUCTION: The production is excellent. Francine Chemnick has cast beautifully and directed with extreme sensitivity and a precise vision. Christina Barsi, a recent graduate of the Bachelor of Arts program in Theatre at UCSD, is marvelous as Arendt. ........ Stan Madruga is making a wonderfully welcome return to San Diego stages ........He is perfect as Heidegger, handsome, supercilious, condescending, sure in his intellect and supremacy. He arrogantly claims to have “taught Hannah to think.” ....
....Beyond all the philosophy and rhetoric, this is a shocking, stirring and fiery love story, blisteringly told.
THE BOTTOM LINE: BEST BET

And an excerpt from George Weinberg-Harter’s review:
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" (a proleptic substitution and one of several expected indulgences in dramatic licence).

Yes, several of us went last Thursday and loved it. It is not typically a subject matter that interests me, and I would not have gone but I like to support my sister's directing. The performance blew me away and everyone else that went. Too bad you wont be here (in San Diego) to see it. Please let your theatre friends know about this play > I think they would enjoy it.

Just a reminder that the wonderful play "Hannah and Martin" has its last performances: Thur, Fri, Sat and Sun, at the Lyceum Theater in the Gaslamp Quarter in downtown San Diego.
Tickets are only $25.
(Boy has it been hot here lately! The theater is nicely air conditioned 
)
