33 VARIATIONS
A play in variation form by Moisés Kaufman
September 30 - October 30, 2010

This recent Broadway sensation is a stunning inquiry into the creative mind and its mysteries. Katherine Brant, a brilliant musicologist is driven – even at the expense of her adult daughter’s happiness – to unlock the puzzle of why Beethoven spent the last years of his life writing thirty-three variations on a simple waltz by an insignificant musical hack. This inspiring drama shows both Katherine Brant and Beethoven in a titanic struggle against time and task; each divinely tortured but divinely triumphant. Clark Griffith, the third place winner of The 2007 Van Cliburn International Competition for Outstanding Amateurs, will play Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations throughout the show.
