Author background:
Regine Dubono came to America with her family over fourty years ago and received a scholarship to study chemistry at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Rutherford, NJ.
She worked as a chemist. Almost had a book on Childbirth published in 1971, then devoted her self to raising her children and work. She worked as a chemist, a preschool teacher, a Head start Teacher, a head hunter, a play therapist, a gallery curator, and finally a real estate broker.
Her avocations are acting, writing, painting, and ballet and ballroom dancing.
Most of her early life she kept a diary.
A GERMAN DIARY- background
is verbatim the diary she kept during a theatrical tour of 16 German Universities with the Pegasus Players, a group founded by Nomi Rubel in 1961. The tour was sponsored by Dr. and Mrs. Sammartino. Dr. Petere Sammartino was president and Founder of Fairleigh Dickinson University.
The late Nomi Rubel met the Sammartino, who lived near by her Rutherford home, and had the opportunity to have her plays produced at the Rutherford campus theatre. Enthused about the play, The Sammartino sponsored this cultural trip to reach German Students Audiences.
A GERMAN DIARY.- A REVIEW
There is so much going on on so many fronts in this 1961 theatrical tour in Germany that lasted six weeks and comprised many levels of drama.
The story is told from the perspective of the wife of the playwright's son, who is accompanying the cast on this trip, mainly because her husband of a week plays the main part in one of the plays. So while there is a romance surfacing, there are deeper events happening throughout. For one thing, Nomi Rubel made her theatrical debut in her hometown of Mardeburg, and her theatre was closed by Hitler. Symbolically the trip then is a rebirth for her ego as a playwright.
Then this became an opportunity for her to meet her aunt, Tanta Baby. And it also became a surprise reunion for her son, Arye and the father who had not seen him since age two.
In addition, there's the mysterious life of the group. The cast of ten actors and actresses, each with their own make-up, and individual requirements, and private lives. Hans Rathje, the play director for the tour (replacing Irving Vincent of NYU, father of Vin Diesel), who was unable to travel with the group, was also born near Kiev, and took the opportunity to visit family members.
All of this drama is set against the stage of the International Student clubs in the various German universities and we meet a wide gamut of foreign students as well... Their interest in meeting an American group is fantastic... Their welcome is heart warming. Their hospitality dearly needed.
The voice of the author, Regine Dubono, is absolutely captivating. Her naivety and immaturity in some ways, as she fights daily to be together with her husband, bring a note of romance and hope to the whole trip. .. Her careful observations of the most important aspects of their travel makes the trip a documentary, and though her description, we can see the panoramas she describes as if there were a motion picture.
Indeed the GERMAN DIARY would make a wonderful movie.
