Cabaret
Right this way your table's waiting!
Directed by Sam Mendes
Produced by The Donmar Warehouse
A dazzling, theatrically staged musical that uses the decadence and defiance of a Berlin cabaret to frame the encroaching darkness of Nazi Germany, balancing spectacle with historical dread.
Inside the Kit Kat Club in 1931 Berlin, starry-eyed singer Sally Bowles and the lewd Emcee sound the clarion call to decadence, while outside, the Nazi party grows into a brutal force. (Filmed live during the 1993 revival, Sam Mendes' directorial debut takes place at the Donmar Warehouse in London's West End.)
