Don’t overlook this inspiring show! Early cancelations caused it to miss out on the buzz it deserves. Fringe veteran Bremner is back in full force, mixing heart with brains, raw talent with time-crafted skill. His deep appreciation of the classic cabaret material is clear, and infectious. Far beyond merely sharing “catchy tunes”, Bremner shines a light on the revolutionary spirit and vision at their core. A healthy dose of hope for troubled times!
Through the music of 1920s/30s Berlin, Bremner tells a haunting tale of artists crying out to be heard in the face of impending doom. The parallels to our time make the work particularly important. His love and respect for the music is evident throughout and it’s the very thing that pulls the audience in.
