'The Killing of Sister George' shocked and delighted audiences in London in 1964 and then again in 1966 on Broadway as one of the first plays about a lesbian couple. It was subsequently made into a film 'The Killing of Sister George' in 1968 and Beryl Reid was nominated for an Academy Award for her portayal of Sister George. Many people compare this play to the movie 'Whatever Happenned to Baby Jane' and say George makes Baby Jane Look Sane.
