Short of slicking back your quiff, chomping on a cigar, timewarping to the Weimar Republic circa 1925 and lurking in the shadows at obscure theatres once you’re Rhineside, getting a handle on all things Brechtian can be rather tricky. Just as well this army of actors and musicians will do it for you, then, with stories, scenes, songs and poems picking over Bertie’s politically-charged, no-holds-barred array of outpourings, plus a bunch of Kurt Weill songs and projected footage. Ist lecker.

Pavilion Theatre, Fri 30th-Sat 31st March 2012
