Columnist and playwright Dave Armstrong has written a drama on composer Arnold Schoenberg.
Described as ‘a delicious Viennese pastry filled with comedy, drama and exquisite live music’, In Bed with Schoenberg opens at Wellington’s Circa Theatre later this month.
Why Schoenberg?
“A guy that’s got the gall to say ‘I’m a genius’ – for a playwright, that’s fantastic fodder!” says Dave. “He’s such a great character.”
