This rarely-produced work by the legendary Adrienne Kennedy takes place in a newly-independent Ghana in 1961, where an American writer is facing both the disappearance of her husband and her own mysterious illness. In her feverish state, dream and reality merge as Suzanne conjures Beethoven – who is preparing for the 1803 premiere of his opera, Fidelio – and her pursuit for answers weaves and blurs into radio broadcasts, love letters, and the legendary composer’s own struggles. Director Keenan Tyler Oliphant explores the space between perception and reality in this surrealistic production.
