Eleanor’s Story: An American Girl…

Offending Shadows Prods.—Alloway Hall (MMMN)

Allies saved the world from the Germans—that’s what the history books teach—but what about the people?

Eleanor is an American who had the misfortune to be on route to Germany as World War II was declared. The audience sees the war through her eyes, as related by Ingrid, her granddaughter,

While staying in the light and annunciation seemed to be difficult for Ingrid at times, she was still able to touch our hearts. With well-designed sound and lighting, creative and purposeful sets, and a story that should be heard by all, this is a production with an ability to break through propaganda and misconceptions; something I’d love to see shown to history students across the continent.
