A famous musician, discovering that he is dying of an incurable
illness, has to come to terms simultaneously with his present and
past. Ludwig Zelman is a man driven both by pride in his work, and
shame for a past he feels he can never undo. In his personal crisis
he must find a way to deal with the death he foresees with the
fortitude that might provide comfort to his young wife and son, and
yet avoid seeing his acceptance as a way of "surrendering" to the
inevitable. In the process, Zelman discovers that he can "atone"
both in his relationship with a long-dead father who was a victim of
Nazi prosecution and a very-much-alive son, through his own
understanding of his life and art.
The ground breaking Queens Players are very proud to launch
their brand new space, The Secret Theatre, with an incredible,
moving script by Joel Shatzky which explores pride, loss and finally
atonement and reconciliation. This play launches not only our own
custom built theatre but is the inaugural production in our fantastic
2007-2008 season.
