In the wake of the ground-breaking La Cage Aux Folles came this adorable, authentic, semi-autobiographical comedy of errors concerning a Berlin schoolteacher living his best life, cruising the city’s cottages while holding together a loving relationship. The Scala programme notes routinely quoted City Limits’ review: ‘It could be Dudley Moore really, give or take the glory holes and golden shower’.

Contains scenes that some may find disturbing.

See Taxi zum Klo with intro by Scala usher Vic Roberts on Monday 8 January.
