The Hunchback Variations
by Mickle Maher



The latest raves:

"Maher is a master at creating complex, paradoxical works that encompass their own contradictions." -- Jack Helbig, Chicago Reader "Critics Choice."

"Colm O'Reilly is... so funny it hurts." -- Reina Hardy, Inside Publications.


Composer Ludwig van Beethoven joins Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, for a panel discussion on the pitfalls of artistic collaboration. Their attempts to create an enigmatic sound called for by a stage direction in Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard" are thwarted by their deafness, unpleasant working conditions, and the fact that Beethoven has not yet finished reading the "The Cherry Orchard."

Mickle Maher as Beethoven.
Colm O'Reilly as Quasimodo.
