Wilma Theater's 'Amadeus' is a masterpiece
I too was able to see the Wilma's production of Amadeus on opening night. It was fantastic. If anyone would like to read my review, with a slideshow, here it is: http://www.digphilly.com/portal/site/digphilly/menuitem.2435f4be62ac0f6627b80d3233b0a0a0/?vgnextoid=9405be7e4c745110VgnVCM1000006dc1d240RCRD&channelid=b67cd355b8bb0110VgnVCM100000330b0a0aRCRD
Shaffer's play is genius, and my brief synopsis may be a bit simplistic, but here's an excerpt: For those who don’t know, it’s the story of Job in a way. You watch Mozart go from being the golden boy of the Austrian court to sick, penniless and shunned. But what makes the story much more than a depressing tale of woe is the ingredient that can be found in everything from Shakespeare to soap operas: The jealous, clever character who takes down the object of his envy with whispers, gossip and underhanded advice. “There is a crystal of truth in nearly every scene of Amadeus,” said Shaffer. Everyone who watches the story can believe its root in truth. Whether you work at the White House or White Castle, these characters surround you daily. Shaffer’s Mozart is the golden child that everybody loves to hate. As you watch Salieri destroy Mozart’s life with whispers behind his back, comments, seemingly benign gestures, you can see office politics, catty neighbors, events and actions that occur daily to the worthy and unworthy. The play is real and surreal simultaneously.
