Nightingale

May 24-Jun 29

"This bitter-sweet birdsong deserves to be heard by all."
-- The London Independent

Written and Performed by Lynn Redgrave
Directed by Joseph Hardy

Inspired by memories of Lynn Redgrave's maternal grandmother, Beatrice "Beanie" Kempson, Nightingale is Lynn Redgrave's third play. She is also the author of Shakespeare For My Father (which traces her relationship with her father, the late Michael Redgrave) and The Mandrake Root (loosely based on her mother, actress Rachel Kempson).
