Fidelio
Fidelio
By Steven J, Harris
Directed by Beverly Thiele
Featuring Steve Saracino, Connor Chase Stewart, Benjamin J. Swanson, Charly Wenzel
One Act
Set in the early 1930s in Austria, Fidelio follows the titular Fidelio Hermann, his grandfather Papa Otto and his Mother Mathilda, as well as his best friend Karl Mayer. It is a short and sweet one-act play dealing with unrequited love in all shapes and sizes, and with the infinite length and imperceptible shortness of a given moment. It also includes brief moments of Schubert’s “Winterreise” in transitions to be sung by one of the actors (can be replaced by playback if necessary).
