Introduction
I Am a Camera is a 1951 Broadway play inspired by Christopher Isherwood's novel Goodbye to Berlin which is part of The Berlin Stories. The title is a quote taken from the novel's first page ("I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking.").
The play and film in turn went on to inspire the musical Cabaret by John Kander and Fred Ebb.
