“Identity struggles are universal. In The Zero Hour, playwright Madeleine George juxtaposes Rebecca, a young woman struggling with her own sexual identity while researching (for her job) World War II, and the scarily strong identity of the Nazis. Meanwhile, her girlfriend O's identity seems to solely rest on her "butch-iness." The Zero Hour is a delicate, slightly surreal story that avoids anything resembling condescension.”
Amanda Cooper, Flavorpill
In Madeleine George's The Zero Hour, Rebecca and her chronically unemployed butch girlfriend, O, have created a happy nest in their run-down Queens walk-up. But domestic bliss starts slipping away as their daily lives are overtaken by charming Nazis, family ghosts and the secrets they keep. The two women fight for, and against, each other in this sharp, moving almost-love story.
