A new production of an award-winning play is coming to Theatr Clwyd in Mold next month.

Belinda Lang and Jonathan Coy will star in Tom Kempinski’s Duet For One which can be seen at the Flintshire venue from September 3-8.

Stephanie Abrahams is a brilliant concert violinist who seemingly has it all. But she is forced to re-evaluate her life when she is struck down by an unforeseen tragedy.

Faced with a truth too difficult to comprehend, she consults psychiatrist Dr Feldmann, resulting in a duel between two razor-sharp minds.

Powerful, deeply moving and at times poignantly funny, Tom Kempinski’s dazzling play emerges as an ultimately life-enhancing tribute to the human spirit.
