Completely agree. I've always enjoyed Farrow's film performances, but I wasn't at all expecting what she accomplished here — just stunning. Tears in my eyes — WTH? She has a fragility that I'm not sure the other actresses lined up can match. (In addition to a uniquely off-kilter comic timing.) And all this while sitting stock still at a table. Remarkable. Someone please give this luminous actress more stage work!

can anyone out there recall her work in Romantic Comedy (Bernard Slade, with Tony Perkins, did it try-out in Boston?)

what else has she been in onstage? was she considered for the newlywed opp Redford in Bway Barefoot or even the film?

www.filmreference.com is often the best place for that info

Linking the page with Farrow's stage credits. Often the info there is at least somewhat incomplete — for example, Fran's Bed is not on the linked page — and sometimes people whom you would expect to be there have no page at all (e.g., Eileen Herlie). But they collect info on Broadway, London, Off-Broadway, Off-Off, regional and so on. It's surprising that a site called filmreference.com can be the best place to get info on an actor's stage credits, but it often is.

Link Mia Farrow on filmreference.com

She was in James Lapine's FRAN'S BED at Playerights Horizons in 2005 (after doing it at Long Wharf in 2003), and did THE EXONERATED at some point.

She was in the one-night only presentation of Albee's VIRGINIA WOOLF when Uta Hagen recreated her Martha, 1999 I believe. Farrow was superb, easily holding her own with Hagen and Jonathan Pryce as George. Her only problem--considerable--was playing opposite miscast, seemingly embarrassed and quite awful Matthew Broderick.

I am so glad you brought up her timing. It's flawless. It is a testament to Greg Mosher how seamlessly this production runs. I've seen stagings of this particular play that were so ragged. Even at the second preview, Dennehy and Farrow are so attuned to each other.
