| I'm with you. I also have fond memories of her hilarious portrayal of a little seen A.R. Gurney play called Mrs. Farnsworth opposite John Lithgow (equally hysterical). It played at the Flea Theatre (and co-starred Danny Burstein, great, as always). | |

| I saw it on Broadway in the second or third row and remember it feeling a bit like a Punch and Judy show because the characters were so broad. But at the same time the characters were trapped in different existential dilemmas. The Chekhov layering was suggestive but not insistent. I remember I ended up enjoying the whole thing very much and thinking the silliness and melancholy were balanced in a satisfying way. | |
