Editing Vaslav Nijinsky (section)

===In plays===
*In 1974–75, [[Terence Rattigan]] was commissioned to write a play about Nijinsky and Diaghilev for the BBC's ''[[Play of the Month]]'' series. Romola Nijinsky objected to her late husband's being depicted as a homosexual by a writer she believed was homosexual. Rattigan withdrew the work, prohibiting its production in his lifetime. He died in 1977. The play was staged posthumously at [[Chichester Festival Theatre]] in 2013.<ref>Geoffrey Wansell, ''Terence Rattigan'', 1995, p. 381.</ref><ref>The British Theatre Guide, 'Rattigan's Nijinsky' [https://www.britishtheatreguide.info/reviews/CFTrattnij-rev]</ref>
*''[[One act plays by Tennessee Williams|A Cavalier for Milady: A Play in Two Scenes]]'' [c. 1976] is a one-act play by [[Tennessee Williams]] that includes a fantastical, non-literal appearance by Nijinsky. In the play, an adult woman named Nance (who is dressed a [[Victorian era]] child) has been left by her mother with a hostile "babysitter," who is distressed by the attention that Nance is paying to a Greek statue of a "naked man". After the babysitter leaves, an apparition of Nijinsky appears, comforting Nance. 
*[[David Pownall]]'s ''Death of a Faun'' (1998) used the death of impresario Sergei Diaghilev as a catalyst to rouse Nijinsky out of a Swiss sanatorium "to pay tribute".<ref name="curtain">[http://www.curtainup.com/romola&nijinsky.html ''Romola & Nijinsky (Deux Mariages)''], ''Curtain Up'' (The Internet Theater Magazine of Reviews, Features, Annotated Listings), accessed 1 December 2014</ref> [[Nicholas Johnson (dancer)|Nicholas Johnson]], a [[Royal Ballet]] dancer, portrayed the schizophrenic Nijinsky.<ref name="curtain"/>
