Nominated for the 1996 Pulitzer Prize in drama, OLD WICKED SONGS tells the story of a prodigious young pianist suffering an artistic block and the aging musician who helps re-ignite his inspiration. A third "character" in the play is the music of Robert Schumann, whose song cycle the Dichterliebe (Poet's Love) echoes throughout the work -- its structure and themes mirrored in the events on stage. OLD WICKED SONGS is an emotional journey through joy and sadness, anger and redemption, out of which emerges healing, inspiration and music.
