Lady in the Dark

Psychoanalysis as a Broadway show spectacle Torn between different title pages, men and life plans, successful fashion editor-in-chief Liza Elliott stumbles unchecked into a burnout. She puts herself in the hands of a psychoanalyst and puts her dreams on the dissecting table. In Kurt Weill's 1941 Broadway musical, Liza Elliott's dream world becomes an over-the-top revue spectacle with a full symphony orchestra. After his successful production of 'Ein Käfig voller Narren (La cage aux folles)' at Theater Basel, Martin G. Berger takes over the Swiss premiere. The singer and actress Delia Mayer plays the leading role alongside Stefan Kurt.
