About the Show

Oscar and Tony-nominated actress Lynn Redgrave stars in her acclaimed one-woman play, Nightingale. The show was inspired by memories of Redgrave’s maternal grandmother, Beatrice Kempson. This unflinchingly honest story and performance was hailed by London’s Independent: “The play is full of touching, poignant and quite funny moments. Redgrave has a real talent for communicating the despair that comes from a life unlived … This bittersweet birdsong deserves to be heard by all.”

Tony Award-winning director Joseph Hardy helms the production.
