By Jon Marans

The Story
A young American pianist, a former prodigy frozen in silence by his own tension, travels to Vienna to study with a professor who rescues his soul and his passion for music. This award-winning play is a fascinating exploration of compassion, religion, anti-Semitism, identiry and the power of artistic expression to free the human spirit.
