Man To Man - 2017 - Off-Broadway History , Info & More

The one-woman play tells the story of Ella, a working-class woman forced to adopt the identity of her dead husband in order to survive in Weimar Germany.



Scottish actress Margaret Ann Bain stars as the resourceful widow (incidentally, a role that launched the career of actress Tilda Swinton). Suppressing her own identity for survival, Ella is plunged into an unfamiliar world of factory work, machismo, and burgeoning militancy; a claustrophobic existence dominated by the fear of discovery and the changing face of authority in a volatile country.
