Amadeus

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a genius, the most brilliant musician the world will ever see. But the court of eighteenthcentury Vienna doesn't recognize his talents only Antonio Salieri, the Court Composer, does, and he is tortured by what he hears. Seething with rage at the genius of this flippant buffoon and suddenly aware of his own mediocrity, Salieri declares war and sets out to destroy the man he sees as God's instrument on earth. Peter Shaffer's awardwinning play is a rich, exuberant portrayal of a Godlike man among mortals, and lives destroyed by envy.
