The extraordinary story of the relationship between the famous
dancer Vaslav Nijinsky and the impresario Sergei Diaghilev, drawing
on an unproduced screenplay by Terence Rattigan. In a hotel room a
once-lauded playwright meets Nijinsky's elderly widow, Romola, to
fight over his latest play. Meanwhile, in the same room, Diaghilev
and the young Romola fight over the tormented Nijinsky. In 1974,
Terence Rattigan wrote a television script for the BBC about the
relationship between Diaghilev, the impresario behind the Ballets
Russes, and Nijinsky, the most renowned dancer of all time, which
Rattigan described as 'the greatest love story since Romeo and
Juliet'. But the playwright withdrew the play and it was never
produced. Now in this bold re-imagining of events, Nicholas Wright
investigates why. Nicholas Wright's play Rattigan's Nijinsky was
first staged at Chichester Festival Theatre in 2011.
