Inside Intelligence; Teddy and Topsy - Isadora Duncan's Love Letters to Gordon Craig;Hill Street Theatre; 21/8/11

This is a one-woman show based on letters from the famous dancer Isadora Duncan to her lover, Gordon Craig, while she was touring Europe so successfully. Very slow to start, it is basically gentle ballet interspersed with Isadora speaking aloud her letters. It's very well acted, quite moving and you certainly get the sense of a woman 'on the edge' but the story, as such, became unfocussed and disjointed about two-thirds of the way through and lost my attention.
