Moving between the past and present, the play interweaves Beethoven’s struggle to complete his magnificent Diabelli Variations with Katherine’s search for answers. Meanwhile, Katherine’s daughter Clara seeks to connect with her mother as they face the greatest challenge of their lives.  Starring in a role made famous by Jane Fonda on Broadway is Ellen Burstyn, the legendary Oscar, Tony and Emmy Award winning actress known for The Exorcist, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, Requiem for a Dream and most recently, Netflix’s House of Cards. Joining her in a sensational ensemble is Lisa McCune as Clara, William McInnes as Beethoven, Helen Morse, Francis Greenslade, Toby Truslove and Andre de Vanny.Featuring live performances of Beethoven’s magnificent music by renowned pianist Andrea Katz, the profound 33 Variations will be one of the theatrical highlights of 2019!For more information visit  https://marrinergroup.com.au/shows/33-variations Theatre First RSS feed:   https://feeds.megaphone.fm/ivetheatrereviews Subscribe, rate and review Theatre First at all good podcatcher apps, including Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes), Stitcher, Pocket Casts, CastBox.FM, Podbean, ACast etc.If you're enjoying Theatre First podcast, please share and tell your friends.
