The Brechtfast Club

Equally Represented Arts presents The Brechtfast Club. A theatrical adaptation of the movie The Breakfast Club in the style of Bertolt Brecht.

In the late 1980’s in the village of Shermer, East Germany, the five members of the worst-performing Stasi firm in the country and their boss work on a Saturday to try to reach their political dissident quota. Just when their ability to uncover secret intelligence seems hopeless, a special radio attachment expands their listening network all the way to the United States. What the Stasi hear, or what they think they hear, might not only pull them out of their slump, but also put an end to Gorbachev’s Perestroika nonsense.

CONTENT ADVISORY: This play is a political satire containing mature and grim content.
