An icon for many years. Fans still talks about performances they witnessed 20, 30 years earlier.
During rehearsals of “The Cherry Orchard”, she has difficulties with lines, movements, acts.
A visit to a specialist reveals that she has declining cognition, dementia.
Nevertheless, she is adamant about doing Chekhov.
Part of her impairment is her dead husband, whom she sees and talks with.
Jessica Lange, as ever, is riveting as the aging theatre diva.
Kathy Bates excellent as the loyal, ferocious assistant.
Pierce Brosnan is her late night neighbor, also something of a chorus.
Theatre buffs will already be drawn to this.
