The Goldberg Variations
By Ron Elisha
19 May 2000 – 17 June 2000 Beckett Theatre
Playbox Theatre Company,
New Writing Theatre World Premiere
Sol, a blind piano player, is asked by the Goldberg family to write a speech. Quick to observe the nuances of emotion that run through this family of combatants, what follows is a journey of laughter and love, spotted with the occasional furtive tears, as Sol marks the family's births, deaths and marriages through his speeches. His vision, however, is somewhat obscured when it comes to acknowledging his own heart.
"... ONE OF OUR LEADING PLAYWRIGHTS. HIS COMBINATION OF COMIC WRITING AND SERIOUS CRITICAL MESSAGES IS MASTERLY."
