Have I got news for you theater fans today. Beginning with preview performances on February 9, 2009 I am happy to report that two-time Oscar winner Jane Fonda will star in a new play called 33 Variations.
Also just announced today, I hear that Colin Hanks (Tom Hanks son who has a regular role in the Mad Men series)and Samantha Mathis (Pump Up The Volumne, American President) will joing Ms. Fonda in this new play. Wow, I am really looking forward to this show. Can't wait.
33 Variations is a brand new American play written and directed by Moises Kaufman, who wrote Gross Indecency and The Laramie Project and was the director of I'm My Own Wife to his Broadway credits. Ms. Fonda leads a cast of eight, playing a woman who is in a race against time who needs to solve one of Beethoven's towering obsessions as well as her own legacy.
The action takes place in 1819 and publisher Anton Diabelli commissioned 50 composers to write a "variation" on the original waltz that he created. We are taken from present-day New York City to 19th century Austria. Although Beethoven dismissed the notion saying the new variation was "ordinary", he then decided to write 33 variations on Diabelli's theme. Mr. Kaufman's new play combines Beethoven's artistic journey with that of a musicologist by the name of Katherine, as she tries to decipher clues from the past found in Beethoven's notebooks and letters. She, too, begins to be concerned with her own "obsession" with genius.
Jane Fonda and this amazing new show called 33 Variations will play a "very limited" engagement at New York City's Eugene O'Neill Theater for only 15 weeks.
