From Diary of a Madman by Nikolai Gogul and Mozart and Salieri by Alexander Pushkin

Fratellanza Theatre Company

September 5-21, 2013

String Up the Moon looks into the human heart and finds two men wrought by desire. A lowly government clerk lusts up the ladder of the Russian civil service. A brilliant musician murders his friend and idol, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and justifies his act on cosmic grounds. These tales meet to form a theatrical sonata of dreams and madness.
