"a moment's darkness should not make us blind."

Margrete has a passion to design and build, but the political change brought about by the rise of Hitler treads heavily on her ambitions and her struggle to keep on building demands supreme courage and conviction.

The extraordinary life and times of this exceptional woman are brought to the stage in a world premiere production written by one of South Australia's greatest and best-loved artists, the equally extraordinary Robyn Archer.

"In the end, when you open up a life as wild and wonderful as Margrete's to a large group of people who have never heard of her before, you hope that it will generate an interest not only amongst theatre-goers but amongst architects, designers, historians and all those who are inspired by the lessons biography teaches us." - Robyn Archer
