I'm a killer I told you
I told you that all along
You were the dummy to believe
I could ever be anything else
Two teenagers fall in love on Long Island. There's fun and dancing, sports and team spirit, there's the woods and beer and physical hard work. But it's 1938, the world is on the brink of war, and their wholesome summer camp is exclusively for American youth of German descent. 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). Her plays have been produced at theatres in New York, around the US and internationally. Awards include the Sam Norkin Special Drama Desk Award, the Georgia Engel
