Description: In 1931, 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', a companion piece to 'Taking Sides', was first performed at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester, in July 2008.
