first premiered in 1928, with Marlene
Dietrich in the lead role. This popular musical encapsulates the alienation
within society and mindless extravagance of the Weimar Republic’s interwar
years.

the Hope Mill Theatre is supported by
the Spoliansky Trust, Royal
Northern College of
Music, and The Golsoncott Foundation
and features original English translations by West End composer and librettist
Steven Edis and original orchestration by young and up and coming composer Celia Denore-Lopez.
A big sale is on and brings with it the exuberant and
diverse personalities of the Weimar Republic. Follow these characters as they
scrabble mindlessly for any deal they can get their hands on. We see parents
forgetting about their children, mad kleptomaniacs (because why not?) and even
a store wedding! All in the name of godless consumerism… there must be
something in the air!
