A sassy, psychological, sexy,... and of course SILLY cabaret set in pre-war Berlin. "The stirring, intense vocals of Jo Burton will captivate and leave you at once bereft and victorious".“…a varied and highly enjoyable programme.” ★ ★ ★ ★ Limelight Magazine
PROGRAM MOVED TO ONLY 2PM
A WOMAN IN early twentieth century Berlin has been gaslighted, attacked, ridiculed and controlled by her husband, and now believes she has turned into glass. Any wrong move could make her crack into thousands of shards - and so, she seeks treatment from the (in)famous Dr Sigmond Freud.
This serious contemporary subject has been amplified by the unique cabaret style of Tim Hansen. Other songs in the program are rich, loving, and sentimental, and help us analyse the concept of "identity" and its frailties.
