Michael Lunts

Actor and pianist Michael Lunts brings this highly original one-man show on Franz Schubert to the Waterside Theatre as part of a tour of Ireland, north and south of the border. Schubert The Wanderer explores the last days of Franz Schubert's short life, interweaving the sublime music that the composer wrote at that time into the dramatic action. It is an evening in which to encounter Schubert, live, as both man and musician.

Over the past two decades Michael Lunts has carved out a reputation as both an actor and pianist, touring his own plays with music to literally hundreds of theatres, festivals and music societies around both the UK and Ireland. These unique fusions of drama and live music cast new light on defining moments in the lives of the great composers and the sources of their creative genius.
