Join us to hear Lucia Mann, Melton Center's Writer-in-Residence, give a reading of her new project in progress.
Lucia Mann is a screenwriter, playwright, and novelist from Berlin. She has written two feature film movies for the “Herzkino” series (ZDF) and a romantic comedy that would break new ground in contemporary German media by featuring a female Jewish protagonist. Her play “The Astronaut” debuted in New York this June; it featured the Grimme-Preis-winning actor August Zirner and was co-directed by Arnon Grunberg (Blue Mondays, Tirza, The Jewish Messiah). Born and raised in Berlin, Lucia also has close ties to the Lubuskie Lato Filmowe Film Festival in Poland and has lived in Israel, the Czech Republic, and the United Kingdom. She has recently completed a novel that explores a major antisemitism scandal in the German feuilleton.
