Lee Dean and Daniel Schumann present Duet For One by Tom Kempinski in the Anthony Hopkins theatre.

The play stars Belinda Lang, best known for playing Bill in the BBC comedy 2 Point 4 Children.and Jonathan Coy best known for his role as George Murray in Downton Abbey and as Henry in the long running series Rumpole.

Stephanie Abrahams is a brilliant concert violinist who seemingly has it all. But she is forced to re-evaluate her life when she is 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.

Powerful, deeply moving and at times poignantly funny, Tom Kempinski’s play emerges as an ultimately life-enhancing tribute to the human spirit.

Duet For One premiered at the Bush Theatre and had huge success in the West End and on Broadway.

The film adaptation saw Julie Andrews nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress.

Tickets are available from £10 from 01352 701521 or theatrclwyd.com.
