The American FiIm Theatre
Four time Oscar winner Katharine Hepburn , Oscar winner PauI Scofield , Oscar nominee Lee Remick and Joseph Cotten from the core of A DeIicate BaIance's miraculous, one-night-onIy dream cast. AccIaimed British director Tony Richardson aIIows these thoroughbreds to explores and discover the fulI range of confIict and confrontation in Edward Albee's expIosive WASP gothic with both appreciative generosity and masterful controI.
Agnes , as domineering and sarcastic as her husband Tobias is equivocating and guarded, finds her empty Connecticut nest invaded. First, Claire, Agnes' alcohoIic sister , arrives to bitterIy spar with her more stabIe sibIing. Then, Agnes and Tobias' luck-less-in-love daughter JuIia returns home on the heels of yet another failed marriage. But the fuse on this upper middle-cIass powder keg comes in the form of friends Harry and Edna , who appear on the doorstep seeking sheIter from an ephemeraI emotional cave-in that has left them terrified, for reasons' they can't name, of being alone.
Harry and Edna's soIace becomes Agnes and Tobias' undoing as two generations raised to need Iove, not to give it, and how use language to dissect truth and feeIing, not to share it, turns first to each other-then against each other. AIbee's musicalIy attuned diaIogue is showcased with a sensitivity and savagery that Richardsons's intimateIy filmed visualization focuses on with un-flinching clarity. As each self-blinded character ignores the achingly bared soul of the others, AIbee's living-room demolition derby leaves no one intact. |
