The Rosenbach Company: A Musical
Friday, April 20, 2007
A story of bibliomania.
Length: 2 hrs 00 mins
Intermission: Yes
Seating: General Admission
You choose your seats when you get to the theater.
This pop-musical by graphic novelist and Cullman Fellow Ben Katchor and composer Mark Mulcahy chronicles the life and times of Abe Rosenbach, the world's preeminent rare-book dealer in the first half of the last century and his brother Philip, a savvy dealer of decorative arts. Mixing projected animated images with live actors, singers and musicians, the show explores such issues as the obsessive nature of collecting, the relationship between cultural and commercial pursuits and the men's historical significance as the owners of some of the world's greatest literary treasures. |
