In Michael Hollinger’s look at the discordant backstage world of classical music, the Lazara Quartet has just fired one of its members, and his replacement is wary of the group’s reputation for personal, violent quarrels. And as they prepare for a command performance at the White House, they’re haunted by their former colleague’s sudden disappearance.
This recording includes an interview with playwright Michael Hollinger as well as an interview with arts consultant Drew McManus.
This is an LA Theatre Works full-cast performance, featuring Jonathan Adams as Dorian, Jere Burns as Elliot, Kevin Chamberlin as Carl, Steven Culp as Alan, Jon Matthews as Nigel, Voice, and President, and Liza Weil as Grace.
Recorded by LA Theatre Works before a live audience at the James Bridges Theater, UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television, in May 2012.
