BERLIN 1930

The action of this thrilling and moving piece of musical theatre is set in a sleazy Berlin night-club against the background of the ominous and doomed world of pre-war Germany as Hitler and the Nazi party rise to power.

Based on the Berlin Stories by Christopher Isherwood it gives us a photographic glimpse of the declining days of the Weimar Republic as seen through the eyes of the night-club singer Sally Bowles and the writer Cliff Bradshaw who have both ended up in Berlin at this crucial point in world history.

The Lisbon Players’ theatre becomes the Kit Kat Klub: on stage are the orchestra and the boys and girls of the chorus. The Klub becomes the principal metaphor of the show which is, as Sam Mendes said “ …about the central mystery of the twentieth century – how Hitler could have happened”

Directed and designed by Jonathan Weightman with choreography by Keith Esher Davis, musical direction by Kátia Santandreu and costumes by Vivi Silveira the cast includes Catarina Wallenstein, James Warner, Helena Afonso, Jon Pedersen, Grant Shepherd and Helena Bandeira.

The production opens on March 9th and there will be performances at 9.30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays until Saturday April 1st at Rua da Estrela, 10.
