Bach at Leipzig

South Coast Repertory presents Bach at Leipzig, by Itamar Moses, directed by Art Manke.

When the organ master at Leipzig’s Thomaskirche expired in 1722, the search was on for a replacement. While history reveals the coveted post went to a genius more than equal to the task, rising young playwright Itamar Moses imagines the schemes, plots and counterplots of the also-rans in Bach at Leipzig.
