Romola & Nijinsky

While the dance world celebrated Vaslav Nijinsky’s meteoric rise to fame in the early 1900s, few were privy to the private side of this creative genius. This bold play explores Nijinsky’s shipboard courtship of, and marriage to, Romola DePulsky, a relationship that would span thirty years, weathering his exile and frequent bouts of madness.

   “When the house lights came up following the curtain call, the transfixed opening-night audience refused to leave, its applause not diminishing, till [the actors] emerged for another bow.”
