About "A Journey to Kreisau"
Playwright Marc P. Smith's 2005 play, "A Journey to Kreisau," is the story of Helmuth James and Freya von Moltke, a young German couple who stood up to the evils of Hitler's Third Reich. The play is the creative product of a multi-year pursuit, an outgrow of Marc's long-time commitment to German-Jewish reconciliation.
A three-city series of staged readings of "A Journey to Kreisau" was presented January 24 and 25 and February 14, 2005. Readings were in Worcester, Mass. (at Foothills Theatre); in Boston, at Boston Playwrights' Theatre; and at Smith College, Northampton, Mass. Members of the von Moltke family were able to be in attendance at each of the readings and all participated in the Q and A sessions which followed the readings--Helmuth Caspar von Moltke (Freya's elder son) came to Foothills Theatre; Veronica Jochum von Moltke (Freya's sister-in-law) came to Boston Playwrights' Theatre; and Freya von Moltke herself attended the reading at Smith College.
