Real, raunchy, rebellious ... They called her the tenth Muse
When she was “on” she was sexy, fashionable, and politically savvy. Who was she? She was Cabaret in Berlin of the Weimar Republic, and Waterloo’s Drama Department is presenting a look at this rare beauty in a stimulating evening of song, satire, and laughter. Many of the songs are presented in English for the first time in a typical Cabaret setting. Enjoy a glass of wine or beer while discovering the clever rhymes and catchy tunes that made this art form famous in Berlin of the 20's and early 30's. There are pirates, sailors, prostitutes, fat-cats, and the unemployed -- there is even a tattooed lady. Their songs have a startling relevance to our own times of cut-backs and “rationalization”. Music by Hanns Eisler, Kurt Weill, Friedrich Holländer, and others. Lyrics by Kurt Tucholsky, Bertolt Brecht, and more. Experience the cheeky wit and deep feeling of these real Cabaret classics.
