Amadeus, first performed in 1979, is a fictional account of the rivalry between two composers: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri. Playwright Peter Shaffer scribed the story in resemblance of an old legend, claiming that Salieri was threatened by Mozart's exceptional creativity. Jealous-ridden, Salieri poisons and kills his fellow composer, but does not admit to the crime until the night of his own passing. Stop by for the after party at Taj Mahal Restaurant. Complimentary eats until midnight. Sat 8-10:30 p.m.
