The fourth and final of Lucy Parham's composer portraits in this series tells of the tender, but volatile relationship between Frederic Chopin and the novelist George Sand. Dame Harriet Walter & Alex Jennings join Lucy on stage to read extracts from the lovers' letters and diaries, counterpointed with some of Chopin's best-loved works.

It's a known fact that actors like to talk. Stereotypically, they like to talk about themselves: about their latest endeavors, about their past performances and about their upcoming projects. Zach Grenier is a different kind of actor. He likes to talk about Ludwig Van Beethoven. The fact that he's currently playing the composer in Moisés Kaufman's brilliant play entitled 33 VARIATIONS has him talking about the play, too. It's a very special production and it's brought Jane Fonda back to Broadway after 43 years in film, television and activism. Still it is obvious that Grenier is in love with the art of acting and enjoys discussing his current project and the musical giant he portrays in it.
