Hershey Felder’s The Pianist of Willesden Lane is the story of a young Jewish pianist, Lisa Jura, who grew up in Vienna and dreamed of playing in Musikverein concert hall. When Lisa is sent to London to avoid the Nazis, her world is turned upside down and she turns to her love of music for comfort and pursues her dream.

The play is based on a true story and stars Lisa Jura’s daughter, Mona Golabek. The production is adopted from the book The Children of Willesden Lane, written by Golabek and Lee Cohen. The Chicago production follows successful runs in Los Angeles and Boston.
