Best known as an Oscar-winning film by Roman Polanski and based upon the memoirs of Wladyslaw Szpilman, The Pianist is the harrowing story of one man's time in the Warsaw Ghetto during the Nazi occupation. In an entirely new performance using Szpilman's original text and the ravishing music of Chopin, acclaimed British theatre director Neil Bartlett, whose work has been seen at the Lyric Hammersmith, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre, brings together actor Peter Guinness as narrator, and award-winning concert pianist Mikhail Rudy for this thought-provoking journey through Szpilman’s extraordinary story.
