Review: AMADEUS at Shaw Festival
The Shaw Festival seems to be having a small tribute festival to Shaffer brothers as it is presenting two of their known pieces this season. The dark mystery SLEUTH by Anthony Shaffer is now playing to great acclaim at the Court House Theatre and more recently and the comic drama AMADEUS by Sir Peter Shaffer opened at the Festival Theatre. The story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's brilliance and early demise told through the lens of his nemesis Antonio Salieri is full of intrigue and speculation, to say nothing of the genius of Mozart's own compositions. If only this production were able to deliver on all aspects of this haunting drama .
