Most recently, Erin played the lead in the critically-acclaimed “Shadow of Heroes” by Robert Ardrey at the Obie-winning Metropolitan Playhouse - the first-ever New York production of this vital, thought-provoking, still-relevant play about political oppression during the lead-up to the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 against the Soviet regime. Read what the critics said below:
“A heroic revival...The performances powerfully resurrect these historical figures...With an electric mix of fear and resolve, Beirnard portrays a woman who takes on the machine and (briefly, gloriously) wins.”
“The superb acting of Erin Beirnard as Julia compresses the entire tragedy of millions of victims of political expediency and betrayal into a two hour performance.”
“Gripping.... this story exerts a terrible fascination...a sobering, thought-provoking lesson in the promises of politics and the compromises of human frailty.”
