Rachel & Juliet

Celebrated actress Lynn Redgrave returns to Folger Theatre with a new show, Rachel and Juliet, for five performances only. Her mother, the glamorous Rachel Kempson, famously made her Stratford debut as Juliet in 1932 and had a stellar career on stage and screen-while with husband Michael Redgrave producing one of the most extraordinary theatrical families of our time. Interweaving remembrances, Ms. Kempson’s own words, and passages from Shakespeare, Ms. Redgrave tells the fascinating story of her mother’s continued love affair with the role of Juliet.
