TheatreWorks Silicon Valley presents the internationally-acclaimed "The Pianist of Willesden Lane." Starring celebrated pianist Mona Golabek, this triumphant tour de force recounts the inspiring true story of Golabeks mother, Lisa Jura, a young Jewish musician. Created and directed by TheatreWorks favorite Hershey Felder, this musical journey follows Juras escape from Nazi-occupied Austria via the Kindertransport, and her life at a childrens home on Willesden Lane in London, where she later survived the London Blitz. Combining vivid storytelling and masterful performances of classics by Bach, Beethoven, and Rachmaninoff, "The Pianist of Willesden Lane" is a one-woman show that illustrates how music can bring light and hope to even the darkest of times. This astonishing work has captivated audiences in sold-out runs across the country, and was called stunningly good by the San Francisco Chronicle.
