Camp Siegfried

As their mutual attraction deepens, so they become intoxicated by the Nazi ideology that fuels the camp, an ideology that will culminate in global atrocity and genocide.

Inspired by the real Camp Siegfried, Bess Wohl's play premiered at the Old Vic Theatre, London, in September 2021.

Bess Wohl's other plays include Grand Horizons (Tony nomination for Best Play), Small Mouth Sounds (Outer Critics Circle Award), Make Believe (OCC Award), Camp Siegfried, Continuity, American Hero, Barcelona, Touched, In, Cats Talk Back and Pretty Filthy (Lucille Lortel and Drama Desk nominations for Outstanding Musical).
