 Black Venus         First Domino, The

Black Venus

Synopsis:
Black Venus is based on a rumour that during WWII, entertainer Josephine Baker was invited to dinner with the second highest-ranking Nazi Hermman Goering. It was said that Goering invited Josephine to dinner, suspecting (correctly) that she worked for the French Resistance and tried to kill her. Told in a Brechtian way with original songs and flashbacks, the play deals with themes of occupation, sex and personal beliefs.
