Beloved tells the story of Katarina, a young woman who climbs the social ladder but loses her soul in the process. Caught between social classes but desperate to be part of the art world, Front of House assistant Katarina turns to the much older and much more established conductor and proclaimed genius Adam, to literally let herself be penetrated, and thus become one with, culture. For Adam, however, she is just one in a long row of young, beautiful, and available women. The play carries Katarina from a coherent, girlish storyteller to a woman on the verge of collapse.
