ONLY AT ROGUE MACHINE THEATRE
H*tler’s Tasters is a dark comedy about the young German women who had the “honor” of being chosen as Adolf Hitler’s food tasters. Based on true events in history, with shades of 2024, H*tler’s Tasters explores the way girls navigate sexuality, patriotism and poison against the backdrop of war.
PRESS REACTION:
H*tler's Tasters was inspired by a 2014 interview with 94-year-old Margot Wölk who, for the first time, revealed her harrowing past as one of Adolf Hitler's food tasters. Margot, a German secretary at the time, was among fifteen young women selected for this "honor" at Hitler’s Wolf’s Lair.
“WOW! Unique gem of a play … terrifically entertaining, splendidly directed and performed, and proof that even in the darkest of times, laughter remains the best medicine. Star turns that smack, crackle, and fizz to comedic perfection … with the most ideal of settings”

“85 captivating minutes. Astoundingly funny, painfully real, and surprisingly current. The actresses are phenomenal - and I mean phenomenal … the best ensemble I’ve seen this year on an L.A. stage. Exciting, incisive, intelligent, dark and satisfying … leaves us haunted about the past and the present, yet giddy from witnessing great theater” - Stage and Cinema MEAN GIRLS MEET THE THIRD REICH

“Fevered - and often funny. A gripping and darkly comedic allegory that explores how fascism can easily seduce a complacent and distracted population into rejecting democracy”
