Few subjects are as theatrically exhilarating as an artist capturing the exact moment of creation by another artist. And in the hands of Sondheim & Lapine, this oft-told tale has never been so personal or stirring. This 1980s master work (winner of the Pulitzer Price & the Olivier Award) is divided into two complementary creation stories, illuminating the struggle of or artistic integrity and personal connection. Whether the art is created by dots of paint or by computer-generated lasers, or whether the artist lived in the late nineteenth century or nearly a century later, these stories show us that the artistic struggle and release have always been the same. From the acute emotionalism expressed in the music & lyrics, one can imagine that this is one of Sondheim’s most personal works.
