Life in the mind of Mayeshah: Cabaret!!

I just came from a play at the Trinity Repertory Theater. I saw a play called Cabaret. It had been soo good. It was a musical about Berlin in the 1930s. It told a story about an American Novelist who went to Berlin for inspiration where he met a Germa man on the train into Berlin. The German man had informed the American about a placce in which he could stay. It was New Years eve when the American went to a club where he met an English performer. So the play continues explaining the relationship between them; the club performers; and the relations between the Landlady and another tenant. It shows how the Politics in Germany was affecting each group of people. The American was against the Nazis while the English performer was not bothered by it and preferred to stay. The club performers where for the Nazis but the Emcee of the club was against them. The Landlady is a hardworking lady who decides it is not safe to get into relations with a Jew who was born in Germany. It was very great but got very sad when all the relationships went down the drain.

If you didnt understand my summary of the play here is the summary from the Trinity Rep website:

Runtime: 2 hours, 20 minutes including a 15 minute intermission

Berlin, 1931: music, money, and love are there for the taking. Cliff seeks inspiration for his novel. He finds it in Sally Bowles, the Kit Kat Klub’s chanteuse, who charms him into sharing his apartment. The Emcee has not one but two ladies to keep him company. The landlady’s found new love with the grocer. Yet outside the cabaret the world is changing: what's in store for Sally and her friends? Cabaret celebrates the indomitable human spirit -- what good is sitting alone in your room?

The time I went was 2pm. It was the first time I ever went at 2pm and it mostly had elderly people. I am not sure if I would go at 2pm again but everyone was soo mature. I then came to the conclusion that when you get older you are more likely to cut your hair. I just hope that is mostly for the American women.

At the end of the play some ladies were shouting at the stage saying remove the Swastika. me and my not soo knowledgeable self wondering what the hell is a Swastika came home and looked it up. So I suppose it was hitting a nerve for those women seeing the Swastika.
