Margo
Bringing to life the complex character of Margo Lion, the cast and creative minds behind Margo have been recognised for their witty, sensitive take on decadent, tumultuous 1920s Berlin. Audience members are captured by songs of the day whilst they experience this iconic period of cabaret, the time represented by a woman who seems timeless in her verve and tenacity. Margo’s story truly resonates in the now, her extraordinary history peppered with stormy relationships, hedonism, and dangerous politics.
‘Margo is headstrong, unstable, ambitious, devious, loving, and vulnerable. It’s been a fun journey creating and developing her character within this charged historical context.’
