‘I am a Camera’ is set in Berlin, just before the Nazis ascend to power in Berlin. Chris, an aspiring novelist from England, meets flamboyant cabaret entertainer Sally Bowles and an unusual friendship is born. As Sally feeds her extravagant tastes, Chris goes along for the ride, until their Jewish pal, Fritz, encounters trouble.
The play, by John Van Druten, is based on the memoirs of writer Christopher Isherwood and the story served as the inspiration for the acclaimed musical ‘Cabaret’.
