"Arendt-Heidegger: A Love Story" by Douglas Lacket, directed by
Alexander Harrington, dramatizes the troubling, lifelong affair between
Zionist Hannah Arendt and Nazi sympathizing philosopher Martin
Heidegger. Hannah Arendt was a brilliant political theorist and a
philosophical thinker of the first rank. As a teenager, she commenced an
affair with Martin Heidegger, a celebrated German philosopher who went
on to become a leading and unapologetic supporter of Adolf Hitler. After
World War II, Arendt maintained her friendship with Heidegger, met with
him and corresponded with him, despite Heidegger’s silent refusal to
disavow the Nazi party. The play explores how this could have happened.
It probes deeply into the Arendt/Heidegger affair by presenting sides of
Heidegger as Arendt saw them: the charismatic teacher, the intriguing
student of the human condition, the lover of art and poetry.
