If you cannot find Amour …then discover a more intense Passion, a musical by Stephen Sondheim & James Lapine. After more than a year spent unsuccessfully trying to acquire the rights to Michel Legrand’s Amour, ESP is instead tackling Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Tony Award-winning Passion.

The wondrously complex landscape of the human heart is the subject of this haunting, intensely emotional story. Set on a remote military outpost in 1863 Italy, a handsome army captain, separated from his beautiful – but married – mistress, is forced to re-evaluate his beliefs about love when he becomes the object of the obsessive, unrelenting passions of Fosca, his Colonel’s plain, sickly cousin.

ESP is thrilled to present the Washington Area Premier of this challenging but beautiful retelling of Ovid’s tales. This wonderful show can only be performed in theaters where the audience can look down onto the stage. Why? Because much of it takes place in a pool of water. This show was a Tony nominee that wowed the critics and audience. Tickets will go on sale in March 2010.
