Warsaw, August 1939. The Tura couple’s theater troupe moves into a theater to rehearse Gestapo!, a play that satirizes the global threat posed by Hitler and Nazism. They also represent Hamlet, whose line “to be or not to be” will be the key to an extramarital affair. But the problems will multiply on all orders: Polish authorities ban the brand new Gestapo! To avoid retaliation from Hitler; this does not prevent Germany from invading Poland. With the theater half-destroyed by bombing as the center of operations, the Squadron’s actors will have to devise a dual theatrical plot of cloakroom and impersonation to disable the delivery of a document to end the Resistance and escape. From Poland to England, to the land of Shakespeare. This assumes that they are the ones posing as Nazis in an interpretive show. In the midst of this shift, Tura will have to unravel the explosion in the marriage of a young RAF aviator who has turned their married life into vaudeville: even more drama.
