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. Drama, memory and music combine to transport you from present-day New York to 19th century Austria in this extraordinary American play with music about passion, parenthood and the moments of beauty that can transform a life. h/c access, $ | ||
