About Cabaret
Directed by Rebecca Frecknall, Cabaret takes place in the heart of Berlin during the tumultuous early 1930s, a time of significant changes in Germany. With Tom Scutt handling the set and costumes, and Julia Cheng choreographing, the story follows Sally Bowles, a passionate English singer dreaming of the spotlight, and Clifford Bradshaw, an American writer seeking inspiration in the chaos of the time. In the electric atmosphere of the Kit Kat Club, Sally finds herself drawn to the enigmatic Master of Ceremonies. Their stories intertwine in a world on the brink of transformation, the pulse of the city, and the growing shadow of Nazi power.
