Within the hedonistic world of early 1930's Weimar Berlin the impoverished English author Christopher Isherwood observes and plans to complete his masterpiece. Within his bohemian bedsit he passively interacts with a series of individuals who act as inspiration for his book; his busty, interfering landlady Fraulein Schneider, the 'gold digging' gigolo Fritz, Natalia Landauer the wealthy Jewish daughter of a Berlin department store owner and the rich but jaded, American playboy Clive. Finally, though, Christopher meets his muse- the decadent, consciously shocking yet forever childish Sally Bowles. Like a whirl-wind this irrepressibly English 'icon of camp' crashes into his life... and things will never be the same again...
Yet above this society, dancing upon the brink a storm, a maelstrom is about to break. As the characters live, drink and love the thunderous cloud of Nazism gathers overhead.
Adapted from Christopher Isherwood's semi autobiographical 'Berlin Stories/Goodbye To Berlin' the play captures a humorous, lively yet at times poignant slice of historical life in a time now long since wiped away forever.
