WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Tony Award and Academy Award nominee Lynn Redgrave stars in her new play inspired by her need to create a life for Beatrice Kempson, her maternal grandmother, a woman she barely knew. Nightingale is a play about a promising woman stymied by society and all but erased by history, a touching personal tribute and a resounding song for all those people whose voices we've lost, or never known.

RE:Nightingale
A wonder evening of theater watching a woman who is a master. She manages to transform her person into that of her grandmother, sister, husband, daughter, etc. She is enthralling.

The 80-minute work, sensitively directed here by Joseph Hardy, focuses on the life of her maternal grandmother, Beatrice Ashwell Kempson, an aloof woman who was so remote and whose history was so sketchy -- even to her family -- that Redgrave has had to imagine much of it.
