When Anna was a little girl in Germany her mother was a famous concert pianist and her father was an officer in the SS.

Thirty years later Anna is a painter in Victoria, BC. Hounded by un reconciled memories and unsolved mysteries, she returns to her childhood home in Munich to confront the mother she has not seen for two decades. Herr Beckmann's People is interpreted through the haunted lens of Anna's paintings and her mother's music.

The play confronts the murky history of a family and a nation with compassion and senstivity.
