Duet For One

By Tom Kempinski
Directed by Matthew Lloyd

In this powerful and deeply moving play, Stephanie Abrahams, a brilliant concert violinist who seemingly has it all, is forced to re-evaluate her life when struck down by an unforeseen tragedy.

Faced with a truth too difficult to comprehend, Stephanie consults psychiatrist Dr Feldmann, and through a series of highly-charged dramatic encounters is led to examine her deepest feelings and darkest emotions, and finally to consider the possibility of a future without music.

Two of British theatre’s finest actors, Juliet Stevenson (Truly Madly Deeply, Death and the Maiden, Bend it Like Beckham, Place of Execution) and Henry Goodman (Guys and Dolls, The Merchant of Venice, Fiddler on the Roof, Feelgood) rise to the challenge of portraying this duel between two razor sharp minds and the wry humour that underlies their relationship. The play emerges as a gripping, witty and ultimately life-enhancing tribute to the human spirit.

'A triumph'

The Daily Mail

The Telgraph
'Watching these two perform together is much more than a masterclass in fine acting… Tom Kempinski’s play touches on something profound'
The Telgraph
'A wonderfully sensitive play, positive and optimistic. No one seriously interested in the theatre can afford not to see this'
