Hints and tips:
...— we hear Friel’s own uncertainty....
...At the Old Vic, Sheen heads up a stellar cast, with Indira Varma playing Grace and David Threlfall taking the part of Teddy....
...It’s in Gina McKee’s quiet, undemonstrative performance as Grace that we see the price of that: behind all her tidy demeanour is a deeply damaged woman breaking down....
...She then spoke of a letter she wrote to Frank the one time she tried to leave him: “Do not follow me, I love you deeply, Grace.”...
...Sean O’Callaghan plays Frank, Niamh McCann is Grace and Patrick Driver is Teddy in this elusive piece in which four monologues shift our perspective and understanding as Friel explores the strange nature...
...The answer we take from the play depends on how much credence we give to the often contradictory accounts by Frank, his (probably) wife Grace and his manager Teddy....
...Like this 1979 play itself, by Brian Friel, Fiennes displays linguistic bravura while refusing to ingratiate....
