SWITZERLAND by Joanna Murray-Smith
Switzerland + Talkback: Antisemitism and Its Effect on Society
Presented in partnership with Violins of Hope: Wisconsin, presented by Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra (MYSO)
Experience an unforgettable evening of theatre and conversation. Joanna Murray-Smith’s Switzerland is a gripping psychological thriller inspired by The Talented Mr. Ripley. When a charming young emissary named Edward visits famed crime novelist Patricia Highsmith at her secluded Alpine home to persuade her to write one final Ripley novel, what begins as an innocent literary encounter spirals into a tense and darkly humorous battle of wits where truth and manipulation collide.
Following the performance on Nov. 6, stay for a special talkback featuring Roberta Clark of the Jewish Community Relations Council, exploring the impact of antisemitism and bigotry, and how art — through projects like Violins of Hope — helps illuminate history, resilience, and the human capacity for empathy.
Don’t miss this powerful night of drama, reflection, and dialogue about the issues that continue to shape our world today.
