The ADDERLEY School and ADDERLEY School Foundation Present
CABARET
Directed by Janet Adderley
Co-direction and Choreography by Sabrina Harper
May 28 - 29, 2023
Based on the book by Christopher Isherwood and featuring a score by Kander & Ebb, Set in 1929–1930 Berlin during the twilight of the Jazz Age as the Nazis are ascending to power, the musical focuses on the nightlife at the Kit Kat Klub and revolves around American writer Clifford Bradshaw's relations with English cabaret performer Sally Bowles. A subplot involves the doomed romance between German boarding house owner Fräulein Schneider and her elderly suitor Herr Schultz, a Jewish fruit vendor.
Overseeing the action is the Master of Ceremonies at the Kit Kat Klub, and the club itself serves as a metaphor for ominous political developments in late Weimar Germany. The musical depicts Weimar-era Berlin during this chaotic interwar period as a carnival of despair inhabited by desperate people who are unaware of the national catastrophe that awaits them.
