TheatreWorks New Milford Presents SHAKESPEARE FOR MY FATHER
This fall, TheatreWorks New Milford will be presenting legendary actress Lynn Redgrave's playwriting debut, SHAKESPEARE FOR MY FATHER.
Lynn Redgrave, who passed away just last year, had been acting on both stage and screen since the 1950s prior to writing SHAKESPEARE FOR MY FATHER in 1993. This autobiographical one-woman tale of Ms. Redgrave's memories has been crafted into a complex, funny, and moving portrait of a child's longing for the love of Sir Michael Redgrave - the inscrutable, daunting, and charismatic Shakespearean actor who was her father. Acclaimed in America and the UK, SHAKESPEARE FOR MY FATHER weaves scenes from the Bard that delightfully fuse with events in Ms. Redgrave's young life, eliciting memories of Sir Michael and engaging impressions of the celebrated stars who frequented the Redgrave's home and lives.
The role of Lynn Redgrave is being portrayed by Susan Pettibone of New Milford.
The production is under the direction of Jane Farnol of Gaylordsville.
SHAKESPEARE FOR MY FATHER runs September 16,17 23, 24 30, October 1,2 7,8. Curtain time is 8:00 p.m. Fridays & Saturdays, with a 2:00 p.m. Sunday matinee on October 2.
