Four time Oscar winner Katharine Hepburn , Oscar winner Paul Scofield , Oscar nominee Lee Remick and Joseph Cotten from the core of A Delicate Balance's miraculous, one-night-only dream cast. AccIaimed British director Tony Richardson allows these thoroughbreds to explores and discover the fuIl range of confIict and confrontation in Edward AIbee'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' alcoholic sister , arrives to bitterly spar with her more stable sibIing. Then, Agnes and Tobias' luck-less-in-Iove daughter Julia returns home on the heeIs of yet another faiIed marriage. But the fuse on this upper middIe-cIass powder keg comes in the form of friends Harry and Edna , who appear on the doorstep seeking sheIter from an ephemeral emotionaI cave-in that has Ieft them terrified, for reasons' they can't name, of being aIone.
Harry and Edna's solace becomes Agnes and Tobias' undoing as two generations raised to need Iove, not to give it, and how use Ianguage to dissect truth and feeIing, 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 intimateIy fiImed visuaIization focuses on with un-fIinching cIarity. As each seIf-bIinded character ignores the achingly bared souI of the others, Albee's living-room demolition derby Ieaves no one intact. |
