Piano Recital (Piano Not Included)

It is March 2008. St Martin-in-the-Fields is packed with an expectant audience, blissfully unaware of the panic taking place behind the small door to the left of the stage. Less than thirty minutes to go and the pianist who was to play with the Goldman Ensemble at the prestigious performance has not yet arrived. He is stuck in the mayhem of London traffic, made especially worse by the extensive road works within the city. But the show must go on. Can the concert really go ahead without a pianist? This is the true story that inspired Piano Recital (Piano Not Included).

Piano Recital (Piano Not Included) explores the backstage disasters as well as the everyday joys, struggles and attitudes of professional musicians. Written and performed by the Goldman Ensemble, it is full of humour, combining music and theatre in an approachable and unpretentious style. The Goldman sisters have a unique partnership characterised by a keen sense of enjoyment, humour and innate sensitivity.

Piano Recital (Piano Not Included) premiered at the Brighton Fringe Festival in 2009, where it enjoyed a successful run, following two sell out previews.
