Dogville

One evening, near a sleepy American town somewhere in Colorado, gunshots ring out—and soon after, Grace appears. She is on the run. She needs shelter from gangsters pursuing her and threatening her life. She is fortunate: the residents of Dogville, led by writer Tom, grant her refuge, and in return she helps them with their daily tasks. She babysits Vera and Chuck’s children, assists Mrs. Ginger in her store, polishes glass for the Hensen family, and keeps blind Mr. McKay company. She is welcomed into the community, and for Grace, the hope of a new beginning seems to dawn. After all, human beings are essentially good. Or… are they?

A stage adaptation of Lars von Trier’s acclaimed film about morality and the nature of humankind.
