About This Show

NYTW presents Bach at Leipzig, written by Itamar Moses, directed by Pam MacKinnon, and featuring Jeffrey Carlson, Richard Easton, Michael Emerson, Reg Rogers, and David Schramm.

Leipzig, Germany, 1722: seven rival musicians jump at the chance to fill the most sought-after musical post in Europe: organmaster at Leipzig. Inspired by actual events, playwright Itamar Moses has crafted a hilarious fugue of schemes and mayhem as each musician deliciously blackmails, bribes, and double-crosses to win the position.

Michael Emerson, Reg Rogers, and Richard Easton are brilliant in Itamar Moses’ sometimes dazzling if overly intellectual comedy.
