Description
Description
Hendrik Hofgen is the star of a state-funded theatre department who pays lip service to the socialist ideals fashionable for artists of his time – until the Nazis rise to power. He then sees an opportunity to achieve his objective of fame: he will perform propaganda plays and thereby use the Nazis as a vehicle to spread his name across the country – only too late does he realise his mistake.
