Old Wicked Songs
By Jon Marans
Directed by Martin L. Platt
1997-1998 Studio Season
The Story
A young American pianist, an ex-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. Considered one of the best off-Broadway plays of last season, this award-winning play is a fascinating exploration of compassion, religion, anti-Semitism, identity and the power of artistic expression to free the human spirit.
