Eleanor’s Story: Life After War

Ingrid Garner—Royal Albert Arms

I cannot recommend this show enough if you’re into history and storytelling. Ingrid tells the story of her grandmother Eleanor after World War 2, and it is gripping, stunningly performed, and has so much heart. The story is based on her grandmother’s book, Eleanor’s Story: An American Girl in Hitler’s Germany. The true story is presented in such a compelling way, with Ingrid masterfully playing every character in the cast, and creatively using minimal props, perfectly timed sound cues, and lights to create the scene. She is absolutely captivating on stage. For such heavy material, it was a beautiful show. I wept. Make sure you bring Kleenex and GO SEE THIS SHOW.
