See a New Play Set in 1939 NYC Between a Pro-Nazi Rally and the World’s Fair
Many conflicting emotions were swirling about the air of New York City in 1939. The year started on a contentious note, with a pro-Nazi rally inside Madison Square Garden that drew 20,000 supporters. But even as the threat of war loomed, causing anxiety and fear, hope and optimism were present. April brought with it the opening of the 1939 World’s Fair, an event where dozens of nations showed off the best of their culture and technology under the unifying theme, “The World of Tomorrow.” The dichotomy of this specific moment in New York City history inspired playwright Barbara Kahn to create “Fair Winds and Winds of War,” a new play debuting in March at the Theater for New City.
