(© Tristan Fuge)
Mississippi Mud Productions will present four performances of Marcy Lafferty’s play, Vivien Leigh: The Last Press Conference at the Alexander Technique Center For Performance And Development (330 West 38th Street), March 16-19.
In the piece, motion picture star Vivien Leigh takes questions from the press in what is actually a confrontation with Death in the summer of 1967 on everything from her dreams as a young actress in London, to impossibly landing her Academy Award winning role of Scarlett O’Hara, on beauty, fame, destiny, Hollywood and aging. The show comes to New York after touring regionally.
Mississippi Mud founder and ensemble member Jen Danby will play Vivien Leigh. Acclaimed actor/director Austin Pendleton (Time Stands Still at Steppenwolf, The Little Foxes on Broadway, Three Sisters at Classic Stage Company) directs.
