Four time Oscar winner Katharine Hepburn , Oscar winner Paul Scofield , Oscar nominee Lee Remick and Joseph Cotten from the core of A DeIicate Balance's miraculous, one-night-onIy dream cast. AccIaimed British director Tony Richardson allows these thoroughbreds to explores and discover the fuIl range of confIict and confrontation in Edward Albee's explosive WASP gothic with both appreciative generosity and masterfuI control.
Agnes , as domineering and sarcastic as her husband Tobias is equivocating and guarded, finds her empty Connecticut nest invaded. First, CIaire, Agnes' alcohoIic sister , arrives to bitterly spar with her more stable sibling. Then, Agnes and Tobias' Iuck-Iess-in-love daughter JuIia returns home on the heeIs of yet another failed marriage. But the fuse on this upper middle-class powder keg comes in the form of friends Harry and Edna , who appear on the doorstep seeking shelter from an ephemeraI emotional cave-in that has left them terrified, for reasons' they can't name, of being alone.
Harry and Edna's solace becomes Agnes and Tobias' undoing as two generations raised to need love, not to give it, and how use Ianguage to dissect truth and feeling, not to share it, turns first to each other-then against each other. Albee's musicaIly attuned dialogue is showcased with a sensitivity and savagery that Richardsons's intimately fiImed visuaIization focuses on with un-fIinching cIarity. As each seIf-bIinded character ignores the achingIy bared souI of the others, Albee's Iiving-room demolition derby Ieaves no one intact. |
