WHAT:

A mother coming to terms with her daughter. A composer coming to terms with his genius. And, even though they're separated by 200 years, these two people share an obsession that might, even just for a moment, make time stand still.

Two-time Oscar winner Jane Fonda (who has been nominated for a Tony for this role) heads a cast of eight in the new play written and directed by Moises Kaufman, author of The Laramie Project and director of I Am My Own Wife. Drama, memory and music combine to transport you from present-day New York to 19th-century Austria, in this extraordinary new American play about passion, parenthood and the moments of beauty that can transform a life.

"Not to be missed." - New York Magazine

"Fonda is elegant, heartbreaking, and fierce."
- Ben Brantley, The New York Times
