  Read Full Review Actors from the great Paul Scofield forward have found the challenges of playing a fictionalized version of real-life composer Antonio Salieri in Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus daunting. And no wonder – the actor playing Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s envious rival is onstage throughout and delivers most of the dialogue; he must also be as believable charming other characters onstage as he is when removing his courteous mask and revealing the brutal man beneath to audiences. In Blackbird Theater’s presentation Brian Webb Russell confronts those challenges and emerges victorious. He gives us a profoundly moving portrait of the “patron saint of mediocrities” which anchors their elegant and highly entertaining production.
