The Pianist of Willesden Lane at Berkeley Repertory Theatre

Set in Vienna in 1938 and in London during the Blitzkrieg, The Pianist of Willesden Lane tells the true story of Lisa Jura, a young Jewish musician whose dreams are interrupted by the Nazi regime. In this poignant show, Mona Golabek performs some of the world’s most beautiful music live—as she relates the real-life legacy of her mother’s quest to survive. Adapted and directed by Hershey Felder, Pianist is infused with hope and invokes the life-affirming power of music.
