| Dame Judi slings it forth
with pugnacity by Paul Taylor Last night, Dame Judi Dench reprised one of her early stage roles and sang the title song from Cabaret. Hand on hip, she slung it forth with a sardonic pugnacity. Sung under the shadow of Hitler in the Kander and Ebb musical, this summons to hedonism is also a biting indictment of heedlessness to suffering, and to the abuse of power. It is under more complicated shadows that it achieves its irony here, as a highlight in the excellent Concert for Peace at the Theatre Royal, organised by Janie Dee.... Thanks to Jan M for sending this to me. |
