In 1946, Furtwängler, the chief conductor of the Berlin State Orchestra, is tried in Nürnberg. Deborah Arnold tries to investigate the past of the famous German conductor, Dr. Furtwängler. The interrogation room becomes a battlefield of different ideologies: is it possible to separate art and politics? To live and work in peace after shaking hands with the devil? Can music free the human soul? This haunting play by Ronald Harwood asks these and many other important questions, but the answers won't be easy to hear.
