Cafe Fledermaus
By Robyn Archer
24 May 1990 – 16 June 1990 Merlyn Theatre
Playbox Theatre Company, Company B Belvoir,
New Writing Cabaret World Premiere Co-Production Tour
Cafe Fledermaus illustrates the fracture and decay of Viennese society at the turn of the century. In 1907, in the foyer of the once famous Cabaret Fledermaus, a young man stops a cabaret singer on her way to work. What ensues in their encounter is a battle of wills, a dynamic embodiment of the feeling of the period, and a reminder that we are rapidly approaching our own fin-de-siecle.
The production transferred to the Alexander Theatre in Clayton (20-30 June). It then returned to the Merlyn in July for two weeks before touring to Belvoir Street Theatre.
