<title>Review: &quot;2 Pianos, 4 Hands&quot; in Ottawa</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19156/20120119/review-quot-2-pianos-4-hands-quot-in-ottawa</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 19, 2012) The Canadian play, 2 Pianos, 4 Hands, has played on five continents and in more than 150 cities since it first opened 15 years ago.  Its success worldwide is due to its universal themes of dreams and discipline.The set consists of two grand pianos, and the cast is just two actors. It&apos;s a simple show, ostensibly about piano lessons, that&apos;s moving, profound and lots of fun.  It was written and first performed by Ted Dykstra and Richard Greenblatt, both brilliant actors and pianists.  They&apos;re back on stage at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa this month for the farewell tour.  2 Pianos, 4 Hands continues through Saturday, January 28th at the National Arts Centre&apos;s English Theatre.  NCPR&apos;s resident theater critic Connie Meng and Todd Moe share a review of the show.
