Bach at Leipzig March 17, 2007

Germany 1722. Seven musicians are invited to apply for the prestigious and lucrative post of organist at the Thomaskirche. Insecurities, shortfalls of talent and wildly clashing ideologies collide, creating marvelously farcical complications in a wild and witty exploration of the nature of music, ambition and art. Written by Itamar Moses, this deft and witty play draws its inspiration from historical events while taking much delight in its fictional flights of fancy.
