La Jolla Playhouse will launch its innovative, site-specific Without Walls (WoW) program this fall with Susurrus, written by David Leddy. Susurrus is a unique audio play that has been presented around the world in various garden locations. Audiences experience a subtly woven narrative by listening on iPods, where they’ll hear the play unfold while following a mapped route through the San Diego Botanic Garden, specifically designed by the playwright. Without actors or stage, Susurrus is part radio play, part avant-garde sonic art and part stroll in the park. The listener hears snippets about opera, memorial benches and botany, which fit together into poignant story of love and loss.

When he learns that a ship bearing his old enemies is sailing near the island, with the help of the spirit Ariel, he raises a torrential storm, bringing within his grasp the enemies who robbed him of his dukedom.

Amadeus by William Shakespear, Directed by Adrian Noble. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play and the Academy Award for Best Film, Amadeus weaves a confrontation between mediocrity and genius into a tale of breathtaking dramatic power. In the court of the Austrian Emperor Josef, Antonio Salieri is the influential composer. Enter the greatest musical genius of all time: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Salieri loathes Mozart and is obsessively jealous of his talent. Salieri realizes that his talent is no match for Mozart’s genius, and sets out to destroy his rival. This theatrical masterpiece, part biography and part murder-mystery, is filled with some of the greatest music ever composed and will bring to life one of the greatest composers of all time.
