WATCH ON THE RHINE

Set against the growing shadow of World War II, Watch on the Rhine follows the Farrelly family as they are thrust into a new world order when a morally bankrupt houseguest recognizes their son-in-law as a leader of the German anti-fascist resistance.

As tensions within the household escalate, the family must confront the realities of a world increasingly shaped by fascism, political violence, and moral compromise. Hellman’s powerful drama explores the personal cost of resistance and asks what ordinary people are willing to risk when the forces threatening their freedom arrive at their doorstep.

In this site-specific production, audiences will enter the Farrelly’s world from within their family home, experiencing the play within an actual home in central Austin near Mount Bonnell. To protect the privacy of the homeowner, ticket-holders will receive the precise address in the week leading up to the performance.

Feral Freeway produces art that rattles our souls and pushes us to change our living, breathing world for the better. We look forward to welcoming you into our inaugural production next month and sharing this spark that’s been years in the making!

Run time: approximately 2hrs 30min with two 10min intermissions
