Willow Productions presents Meeting Karpovsky with Helen Moulder and Sir Jon Trimmer
Directed by Sue Rider
Circa Two
10-25 February

Award-winning production returns.

“Pure magic … together they are magnificent” – The Listener

Sylvia used to travel the world and its famous ballet theatres. Now she spends time alone in her wisteria covered attic filled with her daughter’s unwanted possessions and photographs of her favourite ballet dancer, Alexander Karpovsky – she has seen him dance 127 times. One day the silent Karpovsky mysteriously appears and begins to teach the stumbling Sylvia to dance … and to live.

“an extraordinary work full of humour, delight, drama and surprise” – The Listener

Originally produced to rapturous response in 2002, Meeting Karpovsky toured New Zealand in 2003/4 and won Listener Best New Play and Chapman Tripp Actress of the Year. Following popular demand it now returns for a strictly limited season.

Created by Helen Moulder, Sue Rider and Jon Trimmer with music by Tchaikovsky, Weber, Stravinsky, Adam and Bach.

“strikes a unique chord … a must see” – The Press
“delivers the kind of rewards that only live theatre can offer” – National Business Review
