Amadeus

Step back in time to 1823 as acclaimed Italian composer Antonio Salieri flees the bustling town of Vienna to escape rumors of a murder he’s suspected of committing. As he continues to chase fame, a young prodigy by the name of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart becomes Salieri’s new obsession. Jealousy and a strong desire for power take hold, and a resultant game of revenge ensues with deadly repercussions. Amadeus is full of classical music, history, comedy and drama, and this week marks the final performances of the Spokane Civic Theatre’s current staging of the witty play. Amadeus is directed by Melody Deatherage, who’s directed or acted in more than 60 productions at the Civic.
