It was very popular in the U.S. in the 1970s. It was also a Broadway play. It was about a Berlin nightclub during Weimar. All about the decadence. All we know about Weimar is decadence and wheelbarrows full of worthless fiat.

Ah. But it's Weimar of the 1920s. The 'circle' was organized by Mrs. Schopenhauer around 1800. Interesting time by the way. Arthur always fought his mother or better: she fought her son on being the better writer. Crazy Germans....
