"I'm not sure than Redgrave is that big of a box office draw these days, especially not in a not-huge supporting role that only exists in Part 2 of the two part play(s)."
I'll have to disagree with you there. She is still considered a legendary actress, and the fact that THE INHERITANCE might well be her last time (or one of her last times) on stage would, I think, prompt a considerable percentage of the audience to buy tickets for the show if she were in it, for that reason alone. That said, from all I have read about the show, the great Lois Smith is much better cast in the role in question. |
