Stage Door News
A highly charged political satire, Dinner With Goebbels, is about an imagined dinner among three historical figures; Edward Bernays, the American nephew of Dr. Sigmund Freud, who created the field of public relations; Dr. Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Propaganda; Karl Rove, the PR mastermind for the Bush administration.
The play raises a number of disturbing questions concerning the human mythology of evil, the modern marketing of warfare and the implications of these issues for us all.
