AMADEUS is being produced as Malvern College's senior play.

The play tells the tale of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and is set in the 18th Century Vienna courts of Emperor Joseph II.

It follows Mozart's entrance into the court and Antonio Salieri's devious attempts to thwart his success.

Neil Smith, the school's head of drama, said: "The play explores Mozart's personality and so contains some ripe language as well as scenes involving some sexual references.

"It is many things ranging from the comic to the tragic but, most of all, it is an entertaining ride through the eyes of one modern theatre's great multi-faceted villains and one of music's great geniuses."

The play will be performed in Malvern College's Rogers Theatre from November 16-18 at 8pm. Tickets are available from Liz Saban on 01684 581510.
