Role Agnes
Role Amanda
Heart of ‘Glass’
Shirley Booth‘s Amanda reminds us again of her astonishing range, and truly unique (yes, a word I hate, but I mean it here) ability to mix heartbreak and humor in the same breath.
Role Amanda Wingfield
‘Glass’ act
Katharine Hepburn is better than I remembered, including making a reasonable attempt at a Southern accent. And, of course, there is distinctive star quality to burn, as well as interpretive intelligence.
Role Eleanor of Aquitaine
“Whatevah shall we do with Mothah?”
The characteristics that made Katharine Hepburn‘s performance in A Delicate Balance work so well do her a disservice here.
