It’s 1920 in Vienna. Stefan was killed in the Great War, and his widow Heléna is bereft. A woman without means, Heléna is forced to do whatever she can to survive. Set as an enormous political tide is turning throughout Europe, TALES FROM RED VIENNA explores the effects of war on women, the circumstances that control their lives, and the dreams that set them free.
“ A romantic dance of wit and wills.”
