Norwood High School Drama presents Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus, running November 17, 18, 19, 20 at 7pm inaugurating Norwood High School’s new Auditorium.

Inspired by the relationship between composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his rival Antonio Salieri, Amadeus is a tale of passion, genius, and jealousy set in 18th century Vienna. The winner of the Tony Award for best play and the Oscar for Best Picture, Peter Shaffer’s monumental play is part melodrama, part history, part imaginative speculation.

Salieri, a mediocre but passionate and devout court composer comes to detest the young genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart who seems to effortlessly compose flawless masterpieces while finding the time to womanise and behave outrageously. Salieri vows to destroy “this obscene child” by any means necessary.

Gods mix with mortals, a feuding king and queen unleash magical practical jokes on one another, spells yield improbable love affairs, and a band of comical tradesmen wander into an enchanted wood and are transformed in the most unlikely ways in Shakespeare’s most popular and enduring comedy.

Working with Norwood’s high school drama teacher John Quinn, this uproarious comic fantasy is directed in a traditional manner by two extremely talented high school seniors– Amanda Bonaccorso and Kristen McCarthy—and set in ancient Athens. An extraordinary set design is provided by architect James Bowers, named Norwood’s Fine Arts Advocate of the Year, 2011, who has designed numerous Norwood productions throughout  the past four years, including Pippin, Black Comedy & the White Liars, Marley’s Ghost, A Christmas Carol, and most recently,  the award-winning The Real Inspector Hound. Costume designer Tess Gautreaux is creating gorgeous trappings for Greek royalty and European-style fairies and rustics alike.
