Mississippi Mud Productions is set to present Marcy Lafferty’s Vivien Leigh: The Last Press Conference, July 6-9 at the Alexander Technique Center For Performance And Development. Austin Pendleton will direct.

In the play, movie star Vivien Leigh takes questions from the press on everything from her dreams as a young actress in London to impossibly landing her Academy Award winning role of Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind, in what is actually a confrontation with Death.

Founder and artistic director of Mississippi Mud Productions Jen Danby will star as Vivien Leigh.

There will be a talkback with director Austin Pendleton after the July 9 performance.
