"It seemed to me that I had heard the voice of God – and that it issued from a creature whose own voice I had also heard – and it was the voice of an obscene child!"

Peter Shaffer's Amadeus tells the story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his relationship with court composer Salieri – the only man in Vienna who recognises Mozart's true genius and his own mediocrity.

Punctuated by Mozart's greatest compositions, Salieri recounts how he fought to understand why genius is gifted to some of us, and not to others.

At turns enchanting, scandalous and disgusting the tales unfold in a mixture of story and song as a collection of rogues, wenches and travellers tell stories to entertain each other on their pilgrimage. From the antics of adulterous lovers to the revenge of cuckolded husbands, the characters remain as engaging and recognisable today...
