A satire verging on a provocation; Fake or Fortune with added fascism. In a venal society, art to which a notorious name can be attached equals money, so there is every incentive to wilfully unearth the past - however unsavoury - and then embellish and almost venerate it. If the play exposes the dark and sinister undergirding of German society it suffers from abrupt tonal shifts, The piece is uneven upping the ante in ways that have diminishing returns. The roles are mouthpieces rather than worked through characters. So there is little drama and as a comedy it isn’t funny, just uncomfortable.Read more →

A treat to see current European satire in good translation. The cast was top notch, and whilst not everything worked, and the laughs were quite muted at times, the knife was wielded effectively, the arguments about modern Germany, the Holocaust, antisemitism, the artist vs art well laid out (perhaps one too many current and somewhat obvious ‘themes’?), the play sped by, was engaging throughout, and provided for a most entertaining evening. Catch it if you can.Read more →
