When a celebrated musician loses the ability to perform, the loss reaches far beyond her career. Without the stage, without the instrument, Stephanie must confront the unsettling question of who she is beneath the role she has spent a lifetime perfecting. Seeking answers, she enters therapy and steps into a battle of intellect, resistance and revelation. 
 

Set in a consulting room, Duet for One is a restrained and forensic exploration of identity under pressure. As therapist and patient circle one another, the play interrogates the promises and limitations of talking therapies, the performance of strength, and the cost of building a life on excellence alone. Dark humour surfaces, but beneath it lie deep-rooted fears about relevance, control and worth in a culture that equates value with achievement. 
 

In this unique production, the role of Dr Feldmann will be performed by two different actors across the run. On some nights Stephanie faces a younger clinician whose authority she instinctively challenges; on others, a more established presence whose dynamic subtly echoes generational power and paternal influence. With the same Stephanie at the centre, each performance offers a distinct psychological temperature. 
 

Intimate, unflinching and uncompromising, Duet for One invites audiences to witness the dismantling – and possible reconstruction – of a self.
