Out of Home Theater -- Tea at Five (1 Viewer)

Got a pair of tickets to Tea at Five, Kate Mulgrew playing Katherine Hepburn.

Anyone see a performance?

Whoa, the resemblance is striking, excellent choice. Hartford is on the list, but I am not interested.

I saw it in New York a while back.

The playwright wrote it with Mulgrew in mind after seeing her on Star Trek. It was an inspired bit of casting because Mulgrew is eerily dead-on as Hepburn both old and younger: when I saw it, there was something like a stunned shock in the audience when she made the transition.

Whatever the shortcomings of the writing, you're in for a treat. She's brilliant in this role, and definitive - you won't be able to think of any other actress who could have done it instead.

Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks Patrick, your review actually gave me shivers. I can't wait now for the 22nd.
