When Sarah Bernhardt arrives unexpectedly at Eleonora Duse’s dressing room one rainy night in 1924, the lines are quickly drawn for a pitched battle between these two divas of the modern stage. What ensues is the culmination of forty years of rage, jealousy, betrayal and the contempt each bares for the other’s art. Finally, when it appears nothing’s been left unsaid, Bernhardt has one more thing to tell Duse – the last thing Duse wants to hear.
Don’t miss your chance to be transported to a world where theatre giants, Bernhardt and Duse, cast a spell over audiences, reminding us of the enduring power of the stage.
Sunday, 21st April will be a Celebratory Performance in commemoration of the 100 year Anniversary of Eleonora Duse’s death. Reception to follow.
