NIGHTINGALE at MTC's City Center Stage I

(Seen 11/11/09)

Lynn Redgraves's current venture is a solo show in which she is the star and the author. It is about her maternal grandmother, and is the imagined life she might have led, based on some facts and reminiscences.

Redgrave is seated throughout the show, which is a memory piece, which may or may not be true.

Although Redgrave is a fascinating performer, the material is more interesting to her than to her audience -- who seemed more respectful than involved.

A virtuoso performer indulging herself with her dedicated fans.
