“33 Variations” by Moisés Kaufma

A mother coming to terms with her daughter, a composer coming to terms with his genius.

A musicologist becomes obsessed with why Beethoven was compelled to write thirty-three distinct piano variations on a simple theme. Drama, memory and music combine to transport you from present-day New York to nineteenth-century Austria in this extraordinary play about passion, parenthood and the moments of beauty that can transform a life. From the award-winning playwright/theater director Moisés Kaufman (The Laramie Project)
