Old Wicked Songs by Jon Marans is set in 1986 Vienna. A young Jewish pianist arrives to study but before he begins his piano instruction, he must first take singing lessons from the harsh, antisemitic Professor Mashkan. As the play unfolds through the poetry of Heinrich Heine and the music of Robert Schumann, secrets are revealed and these two men from different generations find they have much more in common than they thought.
Directed by playwright Jon Marans, this 1996 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize is a play with music that starts two actors who are classically trained pianists. Sponsored by Funding Arts Network.
