DUET by Otho Eskin - the UK premiere - at Theatre at the Tabard

Duet by Otho Eskin is a tour de force exploration of the legendary rivalry between two of the greatest actresses of all time: Sarah Bernhardt and Eleonora Duse.

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.
