A New Brain picture

A New Brain

In 1992, composer William Finn was the toast of Broadway as his hit musical, FALSETTOS, had just won two Tony Awards. Two months later, he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, almost died, and then didn't. A NEW BRAIN is his response: not to the threat of death but to the joy of living. Through a series of affectionately satiric jabs at hospital politics, lovers, mothers, and medical procedures, A NEW BRAIN presents a witty and delightfully tuneful look at the life of an artist.
