In Nazi Germany there was only one thing worse than being a Jew.
Life in 30’s Berlin wasn’t always a cabaret. Especially
if you were gay. But there always comes a time when you have to
stand up and be counted. Gay or straight, if you have a heart, you
will find Bent a deeply moving and profoundly uplifting
experience. See it.

The Scotsman ****
The play, which, believe it or not, is full of humour, shows that
even under the most brutal regimes the human spirit cannot be completely
broken. Beautifully acted in a simple but effective production,
it has great sympathy with the characters as they keep a grasp of
love and dignity against all odds.
