This one-man play with live music offers audiences a unique opportunity to hear and see Schubert, man and musician, in a dramatic context. Set in Vienna in 1828, "Schubert - the Wanderer" focuses on the last months of Schubert's tragically short life. The young composer has just arrived at his brother Ferdinand's house, to rest and take the air on the advice of his doctors. Faced with his own mortality, just as his artistic vision is rising to new heights, music pours forth in a last flowering of creativity before his 'unmentionable' illness takes its toll. Using the metaphor of the wanderer, a figure that haunted Schubert's imagination, "Schubert - the Wanderer" is an evocative, moving drama that sheds new light on a much-misunderstood musical genius
