My Marlene is a one woman show about a cross-dressing bisexual pioneer from Hollywood’s golden era: Marlene Dietrich. This immersive, confessional theatre experience transforms the audience into the Allied soldiers Marlene Dietrich entertained in World War II as an act of defiance against Nazism. Here on the front lines, Marlene unveils her contradicting faces of a selfless war hero, impeccable Housefrau (in tails) with a long line of lovers to satiate her undying romanticism, and a militaristic matriarch.

As authoritarianism rises across the globe, My Marlene hits home and becomes an urgent reflection of resistance.
