Stranger Than the Moon

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

Bertold Brecht - in his own words. Tender, funny, furious, and moving between cabaret, opera and prose, Stranger Than The Moon is an exhilarating concert portrait of the life of a giant of 20th Century theatre. Brecht was not only a playwright, theatre theoretician and political thinker but also an exceptionally gifted poet and singer-songwriter. Stranger Than The Moon uses his poems, songs, biographical notes and video to convey his life, in his words, created by his theatre.
