Rattigan's Nijinsky

T01166546245
In 1974 Terence Rattigan wrote a television script for the BBC about Diaghilev, genius impresario behind the Ballets Russes, and Nijinsky, the greatest dancer of all time. He was proud of it, but the film was never produced and the script, withdrawn mysteriously by Rattigan himself, was never published. Now playwright Nicholas Wright imagines why. In this new play, a dying Rattigan meets Nijinsky's elderly widow Romola to fight over his beloved play. In the same room, and using Rattigan's words, Diaghilev and the young Romola fight over the tormented Nijinsky.

Author

Nicholas Wright (based on a screenplay by Terence Rattigan)
