La Jolla Playhouse Debuts World Premiere of “The Heart”

Their latest production, The Heart, brings a story set in San Diego about a 19-year-old surfer’s last 24 hours. Based on “Réparer les Vivants” (Mend the Living) by Maylis de Kerangal, a work that also inspired a film in 2016, the Playhouse musical added even more, with an electronic dance soundtrack with music and lyrics by Anne Eisendrath and Ian Eisendrath, who is also the music supervisor, with book and additional lyrics by Kait Kerrigan.
