the performance venue
Cabaret
Cabaret ( ) is a form of entertainment featuring music, song, dance, recitation, or drama.
 It is mainly distinguished by the performance venue, which might be a pub, a restaurant or a nightclub with a stage for performances.
 The audience, often dining or drinking, does not typically dance but usually sits at tables.
 Performances are usually introduced by a master of ceremonies or MC.
 The entertainment, as done by an ensemble of actors and according to its European origins, is often (but not always) oriented towards adult audiences and of a clearly underground nature.
 In the United States striptease, burlesque, drag shows, or a solo vocalist with a pianist, as well as the venues which house such events, are often advertised as cabarets.

Leonce and Lena
Leonce and Lena (German: Leonce und Lena ) is a play by Georg Büchner (1813–1837) which is considered a comedy, but is actually a satire veiled in humor.
 It was written in the spring of 1836 for a competition 'for the best one- or two-act comedy in prose or verse' sponsored by the Stuttgart publisher Cotta.
 However, Büchner missed the submission deadline and the play was returned to him unread.
 It was premiered almost 60 years later, on May 31, 1895, in an outdoor performance by the Munich Company "Intimes Theater", directed by Ernst von Wolzogen and with the involvement of Max Halbe and Oskar Panizza, illustrating the fact that Büchner only gained prominence as a writer in the 20th century.
