KANDER CAMERA

All this talk of Germany has stirred in me memories of my childhood dream to write for the musical theater.

I sketched out a piece called Germania! (you know, like Beatlemania!) back when I was 12 or so.

The milieu is the decadent final days of the Weimar Republic, and the story revolves around the relationship between a bohemian performer and a possibly gay writer.

A lot of the action takes place in this club, where there’s this wry and knowing master of ceremonies. He serves as sort of a Greek chorus for the whole thing, and... huh? There’s a...? Caber-what?

Son of a monkey bitch...
