A Vision of Beethoven: A play by Tama Matheson

Written by award-winning playwright and actor, Tama Matheson, with world-renowned pianist Jayson Gillham at the piano, this is a performance unlike any other.

When the ghost of Ludwig Van Beethoven appears to pianist Jayson Gillham, concerned that music has lost its meaning in a musically-oversaturated world, the audience is plunged into an extraordinary retelling of the composer's life-story – hurled along the strange and wonderful path of Beethoven's biography, narrated by the ghost of the composer himself, and re-lived as though it were happening before them. 

Moving through Beethoven’s dreadful childhood, his early successes as a virtuoso, the world-shattering onset of his deafness, his titanic determination to overcome it, and his ultimate triumph and resolution in music, this play with music paints a picture of Beethoven's life that will leave audiences breathless with emotion.
