duet for one
3rd - 12th May 2011
Performances start at 7:30pm
A moving portrayal of the music within
Stephanie Anderson is struck with Multiple Sclerosis and she is slipping into the depths of depression. She begins seeing a psychiatrist and despises him for not being able to feel her pain. Her conductor husband is also drifting away from her, having an affair with his secretary. Stephanie shuts herself away from the world, locking her door and replaying her old concert tapes, watching despairingly as her on-screen self plays music that she will never be able to create again.
Duet for One premièred at the Bush Theatre in 1980 with Frances De la Tour and David De Keyser in the leading roles. It had successful runs in the West End and on Broadway. A major revival was staged by the Almedia Theatre in 2009, starring Juliet Stevenson and Henry Goodman. This revival too was lauded by the critics, and it subsequently transferred to the Vaudeville Theatre in the West End.
