Pianist-playwright-actor-composer Hershey Felder (George Gershwin Alone, Maestro: The Art of Leonard Bernstein) and the Geffen Playhouse present pianist-author Mona Golabek in The Pianist of Willesden Lane. Adapted and directed by Felder, The Pianist of Willesden Lane tells a true story from Golabek's family history and is based on an award-winning book that she co-wrote. Set in Vienna in 1938 and London during the blitzkrieg, this moving portrait of hope and survival chronicles a young Jewish pianist's pursuit of her dreams despite the oppression of the Nazi regime. Filled with live performances of some of the world's most beloved music, The Pianist of Willesden Lane has been hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "an arresting, deeply affecting triumph."

This was a play that was a combination of a piano recital and a historical monolog presented in the first person.

Big admirer of Hershey Felder's previous work so was glad to see how he is developing new material. Good show although I think it will rate more highly with people who have strong emotional ties to the Jewish persecution of WW II.

This one-woman show is about a daughter, a concert pianist, describing her mother's story, also a concert pianist, and the struggles the mother went through as a child during the Holocost and her constant desire to play the piano. The daughter tells the story with her playing the piano and story telling intertwined. She was an articulate story teller and a brilliant pianist. I enjoyed the show thoroughly.
