The scene is the Kit Kat Klub, a night club in Berlin, 1931. The Nazis are rising to power. A young American writer, Cliff Bradshaw, is in a very complicated relationship with 19-year-old English cabaret performer Sally Bowles. As he seeks a meaningful life, she claims to seek only its pleasures. Meanwhile, the doomed romance between German boarding house owner Fräulein Schneider and her elderly suitor Herr Schultz, a Jewish fruit vendor, is headed for tragedy as Germany veers toward Fascism. Overseeing the action is the Master of Ceremonies, presenting the songs in the club as ominous political developments seep into the lives and hearts of the lovers.

Playhouse South

Kettering

Directed by Carrie Thurston
Music directed by Andrew Hackworth
Choreographed by Nick Bellmyer

Cast: Lindsey Cardoza as Florence, TC Schreier as Freddie, TJ Montgomery as Anatoly, Jim Brown as Molokov, Madison Galloway as Svetlana, Wayne Myers as Walter, Matt Clifton as Arbiter, Brad Bishop as Gregory Vassy, Serenity Earich as Young Florence & Naman Clark as Nikolai

Chess is used as a metaphor for romantic rivalries and the US-Soviet rivalry during the Cold War. The main characters form a love triangle: the ill-mannered American Grandmaster, the intense Russian champion who plans on defecting to the West, and the Hungarian-American female chess second, who arrives at the international championships with the American but falls in love with the Russian. From Bangkok to Budapest, the players, lovers, politicians and spies all struggle to get the upper-hand.

A comical romp filled with mistaken identities and slamming doors that recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics. The rug is pulled out from underneath for these stuffy denizens of a private country club. A madcap adventure about love, life and man’s eternal love affair with … golf.
