In 2020, international playwright, documentary filmmaker, and fine artist Catherine Gropper had a chance meeting with a man who turned out to be a notable Russian/American interpreter.
What he divulged to her could have changed the course of history.
THE PLAY
THE MEETING: THE INTERPRETER, a new play based on true accounts shared only with her, is a political drama that cuts down to the bone of truth. It is the story of the infamous meeting in Trump Tower where damaging information about Hilary Clinton’s Presidential campaign may (or may not) have been passed to the Trump campaign. A story told by someone who was there. The political aftermath rivetted our country and upended the life and career of a man caught in the middle. Anatoli Vitaliavich Samochornov; THE INTERPRETER.
The NEWS you heard.
The STORY that has never been told.
UNTIL NOW.
THE AUTHOR
CATHERINE GROPPER, acclaimed for her work as a painter, sculptor, and playwright, boasts accolades from Scotland’s national newspaper, the Scotsman (four-star review) and a rave from Anita Gates in the New York Times——both for her play, Embers; and great praise in DC Theatre Scene for her play, Miss Crandall’s Classes, which explored racism in the education system. Ms. Gropper is also the author of several short stories, a book of poetry, and is also working on a pair of comedies, both having a controversial bent. She is also an internationally award-winning filmmaker. catherinegropper.com
