Roundabout Theater
We really like this show. A real, horrible, drama is a nice change of pace from musical comedy. Blythe Danner is wonderful as the diabolical mother trying to bribe the doctor to give her niece a lobotomy to prevent her from talking about her son. Carla Gugino was also wonderful as the somewhat crazed niece facing lobotomy if she perists in her story. (I think she had lip enhancements which I found very distracting--Chris). The doctor, Gale Herold, is just a supporting player to the two women in this production, as are the rest of the cast.

This is a new production of the psychological drama by Tennessee Williams, starring Blythe Danner as the formidable Mrs. Venable, an aging widow distraught over the mysterious death of her son. Carla Gugino plays the young cousin who traveled with him and knows the true story of his death. Mrs. Venable will stop at nothing to preserve her son's reputation.
