GODALMING College performance company ClassAction wowed the crowd with their pre-Christmas production of Kander and Ebb’s musical ‘Cabaret’ .

Head of drama Andrew Pullen, said: “ClassAction’s production showed explicitly how late Weimar decadence became the soil in which Nazism flourished. Everything about this production reinforced the political message. The multi-level set and staging demolished the distinction between the Kit Kat Club and the world outside. The lighting evoked a Berlin swathed in crepuscular gloom, enveloped occasionally, and to great effect with a threatening and foreboding red. And the choreography suggests a society dancing on the edge of an abyss. Cabaret is a deeply political musical, and it was given a deeply political and very moving revival at Godalming College in a sold out run.

“Memories of the film were quickly forgotten and the show’s two superb young stars, Pip Pearce as the MC and Olivia Bowden as the lovable and infuriating Sally Bowles, triumphantly stamped their roles in their own image.”
