Marlene – movie star, cabaret artiste, war hero atheist – and lesbian
In this entertaining show, Terry Sanderson looks at the many aspects of Dietrich’s complex personality and ambiguous sexuality. He will explore her legendary movie career using generous clips from her best films then, accessing rare archive material, give a moving tribute to her phenomenal work as an anti-Nazi during WW11. The evening culminates with a complete performance, on the big screen, of her fabulous one-woman show, with which she toured the world.
Recorded in Sweden in 1963, this is Dietrich at her peak, accompanied by Burt Bacharach and his orchestra. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see a legendary performer in dazzling form.
Marlene was a lesbian icon who never seems to date. Her life – which disregarded all convention – seems well ahead of its time. Come along and be surprised and delighted by the legendary Dietrich.
