Edith Stein: Jewish academic, Catholic nun, saint, martyr, convert, force of nature.

In this moving theatrical ceremony, her life and times are brought to the stage with unforgettable style and strength.

Stein pursued a dedicated, selfless existence, loving God in devoted observance, and fearing no man.

Her convivial personality never wavered, even at the tragic end of her life, when she was killed by the Nazi regime due to her Jewish upbringing.

Edith Stein: A Ceremony of Remembrance is a respectful homage to a luminous woman who shined brightly during history’s darkest period.

Moving across war-torn Central Europe and through time, the play brings the life of this singular saint into the light.
