About the Program
The Signature Theatre presents Nijinsky’s Last Dance, a one-man play by Norman Allen and starring Jeremy Davidson, August 27– September 14 in the Terrace Theater. A winner of four 1999 Helen Hayes Awards (Outstanding Play, Director of a Play, Lighting Design, and Sound Design), Nijinsky’s Last Dance tells the tale of the legendary yet ill-fated dancer through a monologue that describes his life in a series of flashbacks. The wonder of the work lies in its integrated use of set design, lights, color, and sound.For mature audiences only; contains full-frontal nudity.
