Morini Strad, The

Synopsis:
Inspired by the true New York story of concert violinist Erica Morini and her legendary Stradivarius violin, the Morini Strad is a delicate duet between Erica, a difficult former child prodigy, and Brian, a stubbornly independent violin maker she hires to restore and then sell her beloved Strad. as Brian makes the arrangements, the question of what will become of the priceless instrument threatens to destroy their unexpected friendship. Through classical music and fiery confrontations, Brian and Erica must face the choices they've made about their music and their lives.

Something You Did

Synopsis:
a stellar student from a good family, alison Moulton is serving her third decade behind bars for an anti-war action she participated in as member of a 60s radical group that resulted in the death of an African American police officer. Now petitioning for parole, she's visited by the daughter of the slain officer. But her fiercest detractor comes in a former comrade turned neo-conservative pundit, media star and best-selling author. Gene Biddle (Rick Foucheux) argues against his former partner while implicating another group member, now a current public official residing in the White House, for a past association with the radical terrorist group. Smear politics, 60s revisionism, the realities of a wasted life in prison, and the desire to rejoin society form the driving, conflicting forces in this fluid and eloquent play about the divisions in American culture and politics (the New York Times) Willy Holtzman has done the nearly impossible: In SOMeTHING YOU DID, he finds a fresh way to discuss modern terrorism. (Time Out ) a highly engrossing work, newly updated.
