Award-winning production returns
"Pure magic... together they are magnificent" - The Listener
Sylvia used to travel the world and its famous ballet theatres. Now she spends time alone in her wisteria covered attic filled with her daughter's unwanted possessions and photographs of her favourite ballet dancer, Alexander Karpovsky - she has seen him dance 127 times. One day the silent Karpovsky mysteriously appears and begins to teach the stumbling Sylvia to dance...and to live.
"an extraordinary work full of humour, delight, drama and surprise" - The Listener.
Originally produced to rapturous response in 2002, Meeting Karpovsky toured New Zealand in 2003/4 and won Listener Best Play and Chapman Tripp Actress of the Year. Following popular demand it now returns for a strictly limited season.
Created by Helen Moulder, Sue Rider and Jon Trimmer with music by Tchaikovsky, weber, Stravinsky, Adam and Bach.
Presented by Willow Productions.
