SYNOPSIS
Address Unknown chronicles the
friendship between two business partners living in San
Francisco in 1932, Martin Shulse and Max Eisenstein.
Martin, a German-born gentile, returns to Germany with
his wife and children, and re-establishes ties to his
homeland. Max, a German Jew, remains in the States to
run the business.
Then, politics on a worldwide scale overwhelm the
friends, and as the Nazi Party rises to power, betrayal
and revenge threaten all the men hold dear.
With its prescient anticipation of the rise of fascism
and its unrelenting examination of fascism's effect on
the human soul, Address Unknown is a story of as
much urgent importance today as when it was written as a
novel by Portlander Katherine Kressmann Taylor in 1939.
Address Unknown is directed by Mary
McDonald-Lewis, and stars the award-winning actors
Tobias Andersen and Michael Mendelson. All performances
feature Audience Talkbacks, with a moderated panel of
the director, actors, and Holocaust Survivors and
Scholars. |
