During the Cold War, German rocket scientist Arthur Rudolph was instrumental in helping America win the Space Race. When he is forced to confront his Nazi history, Rudolph and his wife are cast out of the country he has diligently served for nearly 40 years. Written by award-winning author and Pittsburgh's City Theatre favorite Keith Reddin (Human Error, The Missionary Position), this time-bending play explores the untold (and true) story of "Operation Paperclip" -- a program in which 1,500 German scientists, engineers and technicians were brought to the United States from Nazi Germany -- and questions the cost of burying the past in pursuit of the future.
