Hannah Senesh

Nominated for a Drama Desk Award for best solo performance (Lori Wilner), this electrifying solo play with music brings to life the extraordinary true story of Hannah Senesh — a fearless young Hungarian woman whose courage defied tyranny. As World War II looms, Hannah leaves her home to help build a Jewish state, only to later parachute behind Nazi lines on a daring rescue mission to save her fellow Jews — including her own mother — from the horrors of the Holocaust. A stirring portrait of resistance, resilience, and hope, this one-woman tour de force is as inspiring as it is unforgettable. More information at nytf.org
