Peil, Amendolia, Odeh and Pianist Walsh to Play Moisés Kaufman's '33 Variations' in DC

Yahoo! News: "The new drama written and directed by Moisés Kaufman is a co-production between Tectonic Theater Project and Arena Stage. It 'examines Beethoven's life and creative process as he obsessively composes 33 variations known as the 'Diabelli Variations,' late in his life,' according to Arena. 'Struggling to uncover the source of his fixation is Katherine, a modern-day musicologist [played by Broadway's Mary Beth Peil]. Kaufman's D.C. directorial debut weaves performances of Beethoven's compositions, played live by acclaimed pianist Diane Walsh, and original projection design by Jeffrey Sugg into the action of the play.'"
