I'm curious as to whether anyone has further intel to share about this new show? It has had some workshops/development in the US, and its professional premiere is being planned for Austria in November 2020, in a German translation. It's based on the true story of Ron Jones, that American high school teacher who conducted a social experiment on his students to demonstrate the mass appeal of fascism. Sounds interesting.

It looks as though the premiere has been pushed back to 11 December due to COVID, and then the remainder of the performances will be held in early 2021.

This is cool: a taping of the Austrian production of this show, which never had its live premiere, will be streamed from 20 March through 17 April as part of the Landestheater Linz's 'Net Stage' season. You can buy a ticket to watch within a particular 48-hour window. There are a range of ticket pricing options, from free ('Les Miserables' level) to 120 euros ('Big Spender' level).
