New Hampshire Theatre Project's 2010-11 Season continues with Amadeus, Peter Shaffer's exquisite masterpiece and winner of a Tony Award for Best Play and an Academy Award for Best Film. After 20 years and six versions, this latest script is hailed by reviewers as an 'extraordinarily focused and lucid play' that is far superior to the original which opened on Broadway 30 years ago. Infused with Mozart's brilliant and heartbreaking music, the story of Court Composer Antonio Salieri's fierce jealousy of child prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is theatre at its very best - a dramatic power struggle between two imperfect human creatures and their perfect Divine Muse. Directed by Genevieve Aichele, with costume design by Michele Macadaeg and set/lighting design by Quentin Stockwell, NHTP's production takes place in a world that is both magically distant and disconcertingly close to home.
