The Orange Tree Theatre have announced their production of Tom Kempinski’s 1980 drama Duet For One, starring Tara Fitzgerald (Antigone, Old Vic/UK tour) as Stephanie Abrahams and Maureen Beattie (My Fair Lady, London Coliseum) as Dr Feldmann, which runs at the venue from 11 February-18 March 2023.

Richard Beecham makes his OT debut in this new adaptation accompanied by live music.

Tom Kempinski’s moving and hopeful story has triumphed in the West End and on Broadway, later turned into a feature film starring Julie Andrews and Alan Bates. Duet For One runs in place of Grim Brenda which will be staged at later date, with full details to be confirmed.

OT Artistic Director Tom Littler said: “Duet for One is one of the great plays about music, but its resonance goes much wider. I'm delighted we’re producing Tom Kempinski’s beautiful chamber play. Tara Fitzgerald and Maureen Beattie are a dream cast, and Richard Beecham’s production will reinvent Duet for One for a new generation. We look forward to staging Grim Brenda in the future.”
