On 17th January 2025at4:23 p.m.,NOLAMike noted:
Joan Plowright died today (17 January 2025). I was lucky to see this production when I was a student in London in 1987. It was Glenda Jackson’s last play before she was elected to the House of Commons and stopped acting for decades. It was my first Lorca and absolutely riveting. Joan and Glenda were amazing together.
