Collaboration begins in 1931 in a spirit of optimism as composer Richard Strauss and writer Stephan Zweig embark on an invigorating artistic partnership. But Zweig is a Jew and the Nazis are on the march. Is it possible to keep artistic aspiration and political action separate? How fine is the line between collaboration and betrayal? Collaboration and Taking Sides are two companion pieces by Ronald Harwood, separate plays which complement one another. Performers Michael Pennington (Richard Strauss), Isla Blair (Pauline Strauss), Martin Hutson (Hans Hinkle), Pip Donaghy (Paul Adolph), Sophie Roberts (Lotte Zweig), David Horovitch (Stefan Zweig).
