Synopsis
LoveMusik is a look at the
wonderfully creative, oftentimes stormy, sometimes steamy
relationship between Kurt Weill and Lotte Lenya. Based on letters
between the two over more than 25-years, the play chronicles first
successes, Weill's break with Bertholt Brecht, the decision to leave
Germany and their life and loves in the States |
