A Private Grief devised by JAMES RUNCIE and the cast
By 1802 Beethoven was fully aware of the problems his deafness might cause: the resulting isolation, and his intense desire to withdraw from society, made his life increasingly turbulent, difficult and lonely. Yet from that position of solitude came some of the finest music ever written.
