| Saw a preview of THE VISIT at the NT last night and liked it a lot. It's a bit overlong (3.5 hours) and some of the cast aren't quite up to speed with Kushner's dense and rapid-fire dialogue. But most importantly Lesley Manville and Hugo Weaving are magnificent. It struck me mid-way through that given her appearance in his adaptation of MOTHER COURAGE- not to mention the HBO ANGELS IN AMERICA- it might be a great vehicle for Meryl Streep to bring to Broadway? Then a little later I thought Glenn Close might be even better. No doubt there might be talk of a transfer already happening. Just wondered if anyone had seen it yet and had an opinion? |
