Theater Oobleck presents the World Premiere of

The Hunchback Variations Opera

Music by Mark Messing
Based on the play by Mickle Maher
Now Extended Through March 11

“The Hunchback Variations Opera” dramatizes a hilarious and melancholy panel discussion between Quasimodo, hunchback of Notre Dame, and Ludwig van Beethoven, composer, on their attempt to create a mysterious sound effect called for in Anton Chekov’s “The Cherry Orchard”. Playing out over eleven scenes, or “variations”, the story details the duo's collaboration -- one doomed by their deafness, unpleasant working conditions, and the fact that Beethoven has not yet finished reading the "The Cherry Orchard."

PERFORMERS
George Andrew Wolff, tenor
