TOM Kempinski’s award-winning play Duet For One, directed by Robin Lefevre, is coming to Salisbury Playhouse.
Belinda Lang (2 Point 4 Children) reprises her acclaimed performance as Stephanie Abrahams joined on this tour by Jonathan Coy (Downton Abbey) as Dr Feldmann.
Stephanie Abrahams is a concert violinist who seemingly has it all. She is forced to re-evaluate her life when struck down by an unforeseen tragedy. Faced with a truth too difficult to comprehend, she consults psychiatrist Dr Feldmann, resulting in a duel between two razor-sharp minds.
Based on the life of world-renowned musician Jacqueline Du Pré, Duet For One premiered at the Bush Theatre in 1980 with Frances De La Tour and David de Keyser and had great success in subsequent West End and Broadway runs, including a major revival in 2009 starring Juliet Stephenson and Henry Goodman.
The film adaptation of Duet For One, released in 1986, saw Julie Andrews nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Actress.
Duet For One is directed by multi award-winning director Robin Lefevre and designed by Olivier and Tony award-winner Lez Brotherston. The national tour is produced by Lee Dean and Daniel Schumann.
The show runs from Monday, September 10 to Saturday 15. Tickets are available by calling the box office on 01722 320333 or by visiting wiltshirecreative.co.uk
