A musicologist with ALS investigates why Beethoven wrote thirty-three variations on a simple theme submitted by publisher Anton Diabelli. Her research unfolds alongside scenes from Beethoven’s time, with the two eras converging onstage.
Using contemporary court documents, newspaper accounts, and books read aloud by the actors, the play reconstructs Oscar Wilde’s three trials over his relationships with Lord Alfred Douglas and other men. Wilde’s libel case against Queensberry fails, and the later prosecutions for gross indecency end in conviction and hard labour.
A Nazi-era photo album reaches Holocaust Museum archivist Rebecca Erbelding. As historians investigate its images, a German businessman recognizes his grandfather and begins confronting his family’s past and the lives of other Nazi descendants.
Drawing on interviews with Laramie residents, company members' journals, and news reports, the play presents community reactions to the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard through short scenes in which eight actors portray more than sixty people.
