Liv Stein is the latest play in the line, but adds very little to it. Liv Stein is a piano virtuoso who gave up on music and largely on life when her son Henri, in his early twenties, died of brain cancer. Lore restores Liv’s will to live and to dress well and to give recitals, and even has an effect on her repertoire. For a play that talks so much about emotion, this one – certainly in Matthew Jocelyn’s CanadianStage production – communicates hardly any of it. Liv Stein runs until February 12 at the Bluma Appel Theatre in Toronto.
