"The Accidental Hero," a miraculous true story about freedom, World War II, and the inescapable question, “Who am I?” comes to Ford's Theatre for one night only - April 2, 2017, 7-8:30 pm, followed by a conversation with the artist. 

Written and performed by Patrick Dewane, "The Accidental Hero" tells the true story of Dewane's grandfather, a World War II officer who miraculously liberated his own grandparents’ native villages in Czechoslovakia. Dewane brings archival material found in his grandfather’s basement to glowing life as an enthralling, humorous and heartwarming tale of astonishing coincidences and escapes.

The performance is presented by Ford’s Theatre Society, the American Friends of the Czech Republic and Mr. and Mrs. Frederic V. Malek.
