OFFICIAL WINNER OF THE HOLLYWOOD ENCORE PRODUCERS’ AWARD
A national emergency is declared. Civil liberties are restricted. Theatres and nightclubs – intellectual, artistic havens – are closing. A chanteuse takes to a smoky stage in musical defiance. A postmodern cabaret for a world on fire, inspired by the Weimar Kabarett tradition.
Written and Performed by Joanne Hartstone (‘The Girl Who Jumped Off The Hollywood Sign’)
Designed and Directed by Tom Kitney
Musical Direction by Emma Knights
Voice Over and Translation by Michael Morley
Associate Design by George Cort
