    Bent is an important, moving and powerful play. For 20 years it has stunned theatre audiences around the world. Set amidst the decadence of pre-war Germany, Bent is an emotional tale of love, as three homosexual men fight for survival in the face of persecution.

     

    The story begins during the Night of the Long Knives. Max and Rudi are enjoying an evening's entertainment in Greta's burlesque club when the pair fall into the hands of Hitler's men. Their escape forced them to spent two years on the run, begging for help from reluctant friends and relatives.

     

    Finally, they are caught and sent to a detention camp. Within the confines of the camp, Max meets and falls in love with Horst. Their secret love affair, which begins under the most extreme regime, is as inspirational as it is emotional. Bent illustrates how the selfless love of one person for another can overcome oppression, even under the most extreme circumstances.

    ★★★★★

    "It’s desperately thoughtful, incredibly well-performed and devastatingly heartbreaking. This is definitely a play to go and see."

    - Lorna Mackinnon, The Tab
