There was a production of "Strange Interlude" that had a huge cast. Jane Fonda was part of it. Jason Robards Jr. too? I think it lasted 5 hours. There was a break in the middle and Sardis offered a special dinner during the break. I think that the Actor's Fund had a special benefit performance.

I saw that production. It was at the Hudson Theatre, and in the lobby, several restaurants, including Sardi's, offered special dinners during the show's one- hour dinner break. Sardi's even provided a bus to take you to and from the restaurant. It was a 6:00 curtain, and the dinner break came around 8:00. The curtain came down at around 11:30. It was a great evening -- and a memorable one.

There was a 1985 revival with Glenda Jackson, Brian Cox, and Edward Petherbridge (all superb) that did not get the buzz it deserved. I thought it was tremendous.

I saw the Glenda Jackson Strange Interlude and it was great. And I forget about it because it's rarely mentioned. I wonder if there was a great director who could stage it now.

I very much enjoyed the Glenda Jackson revival as well. Thanks for mentioning it.

There is a tie in between the 1985 revival and the original production of "Nicholas Nickely" in that Edward Petherbridge was (superb) in both.

the production at Hartford Stage (1989?) with Richard Thomas is my epic theatre memory. Stunning acting and stunning production

How long was it, StageDoor Johnny? I didn't think Peer Gynt was that long.

Classic Stages is doing it next season, by the way.
