I'd been hoping that she might do the Alan Bennett, but having seen it I understand why she wouldn't have been interested: it was an ensemble piece without any one really good part for her.
I didn't think she would come back to the stage after so long away. I missed THE LADY FROM DUBUQUE after having loved her in LETTICE AND LOVAGE on Broadway and then THREE TALL WOMEN, THE BREATH OF LIFE and THE LADY IN THE VAN in the West End. (Her performance in THREE TALL WOMEN is probably the greatest acting I have seen anywhere, ever.)
Now to figure out if I can afford it..... |
