Fire and Air examines some of the rich history behind Sergei Diaghilev’s internationally renowned Ballet Russes, including Diaghilev’s tempestuous relationship with dancer Vaslav Nijinsky.

Fire and Air began performances January 17. The CSC staging features scenic design by Doyle, costumes by Ann Hould-Ward, lighting design by Jane Cox, sound design by Matt Stine, and hair and make-up by J. Jared Janas.
McNally is a four-time Tony-winning playwright and musical book writer; his works include Anastasia, Love! Valour! Compassion!, Master Class, Kiss of the Spider Woman, and Ragtime.
