SUMMARY:A Vision of Beethoven
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nA play by Tama Matheson\nWhen the ghost of Ludwig Van Beethoven appears to pianist Jayson Gillham\, concerned that music has lost its meaning in a musically-oversaturated world\, the audience is plunged into an extraordinary retelling of the composer’s life-story – hurled along the strange and wonderful path of Beethoven’s biography\, narrated by the ghost of the composer himself\, and re-lived as though it were happening before them. \nMoving through Beethoven’s dreadful childhood\, his early successes as a virtuoso\, the world-shattering onset of his deafness\, his titanic determination to overcome it\, and his ultimate triumph and resolution in music\, this play with music paints a picture of Beethoven’s life that will leave audiences breathless with emotion. \nWritten by award-winning playwright and actor\, Tama Matheson\, with world-renowned pianist Jayson Gillham at the piano\, this is a performance unlike any other. \nSponsored by Mr and Mrs Robin Aird \n\nPerformers\nJayson Gillham piano\nTama Matheson actor \n\n\nTickets\n£30 / £25 \n(includes £1.25 Corn Exchange booking fee) \n
