Cabaret Performance: Europe 1920-1940 : Sketches, Songs, Monologues, Memoris

Reflecting the concerns of people caught in a series of crises that would culminate in World War II, the material ranges from the backed dancing that characterized the hysteria of inflation-era Berlin to the anti-Nazi songs of performers exiled after Hitler's rise to power. The authors range from Jean Cocteau and Kurt Tucholsky to Erika Mann and Ference Molnar.
