A cabaret evening takes the audience through the life of Stefan Zweig, a renowned Austrian writer whose memoir captured the essence of the human experience in the early 20th century. Born to a Jewish family in Vienna, Zweig flourished during the peaceful pre-war years, before being forced into exile by the rise of Nazism. The World of Yesterday chronicles an irreversibly changing world, offering a poignant look at the fragility of civilization, and how easily we can be lost to hate. Holding a mirror to the world of today, this experimental adaptation asks us to look at our place in continuing history.

Queer, Jewish, unequivocally political theatre-maker Anya Ostrovskaia brings together a multidisciplinary group of artists to deal with past, present, and the space between. A testament to the enduring power of art and culture, the resilience of the human spirit.
