Fabulett ProductionsProfessional company

60 minutesCoorie
1957, West Germany. The battle against the Nazis ended twelve years ago – but for Karl, a gay concentration camp survivor, the war never truly ended. Still criminalised under Nazi law, his life is on trial. The Pink List is a haunting one-person musical inspired by untold stories of queer men in post-war Germany – names recorded in the Pink Lists, then erased. From the creator of Fabulett 1933, 'an awakening' ***** BroadwayBaby.com, and praised as 'enlightening and intelligent' **** (LondonTheatre1.com), this is the story of one man, one voice, one list they hoped we'd forget.
