The Story
The Beams Are Creaking is a play by Douglas Anderson and presented in agreement with Concord Theatricals. It is the inspiring, powerful, true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German theologian who defied the Nazis and ultimately led an assassination attempt against Hitler. This compelling drama captures the Bonhoeffer legend on a rich theatrical canvas without ever sacrificing the very human story at the base of it. Part political thriller, part love story, leavened with moments of humor, filled with a compassion that reaffirms one's faith in man.
Are heroes and villains a social construct? How do you know in crisis who are the heroes and who are the villains? Who gets to decide? Can a moral person commit an immoral act for good? Is courage only a virtue of heroes?
The Beams Are Creaking will be presented as a dramatic staged reading followed by a facilitated discussion at LabO Theatre on June 11th, 2026.
