Schubert Fountain
(fictional biographical) - 1m
This entertaining and moving one-person play follows the composer Franz Schubert through the final years of his life, from full, exuberant health and joie-de-vivre in the taverns of Vienna to inciteful soul-searching on his death-bed, weakened and chastened by syphilis. A touching, memorable exploration of the mind of a musical genius.
“an absorbing study and a tour de force” (Eastern Daily Press)
“part historical, part fiction, part comedy, part tragedy … but above all, a work of art” (Derbyshire Times)
“compelling … gripping” (The Stage)
