Circus of Mirrors by Julie Owen Moylan is a dazzling tale of love, courage, and sisterhood, spanning 40 years of tumult in Berlin. It's perfect for fans of Cabaret and The Whalebone Theatre.

Berlin, 1926. After the death of their parents, sisters Leni and Annette only have each other. Desperate to support her younger sister, Leni finds work at a notorious cabaretβ€”the Babylon Circus, a place where reality and fantasy merge.

Leni is happiest hiding in the shadows, until she meets the resident pianist, Paul, beginning a tentative love affair that will play out over the next forty years.

But can a love born within the feverish walls of the Babylon Circus ever survive? And can the bond between Leni and Annetteβ€”tugged in opposite directions of their ownβ€”also endure?
