The West Side Waltz
A story that invites you to rediscover the joy of living, the power of friendship and the wisdom of age.Based on the play by Ernest Thompson, the storyline focuses on Margaret Mary Elderdice, an aging, widowed pianist living in a dreary Upper West Side apartment, and her relationships with a prim, virginal violinist neighbor and the young companion who moves in for an extended stay.Thompson was prompted to write the piece when screenwriter George Seaton offered him a grant to write a new play following the success of his previous work, On Golden Pond.
