Old Wicked Songs

In this deeply moving drama, a young American musical prodigy in the middle of a promising career begins to suffer from creative burnout. He journeys to Vienna to study under a world-renowned pianist, where he finds himself confronting his inner demons and the ghosts of the Holocaust. Old Wicked Songs is a finely nuanced and heartfelt study of the contentious relationship between the two men, who are both forced to confront their particular dark secrets. The play is intertwined with the music of Robert Schumann, creating a lush – almost operatic – dramatic experience.
