I waited over twenty years and finally saw my favorite actress GLENDA JACKSON on stage and knocking the socks off Broadway in Edward Albee’s “Three Tall Women”. With superb support from the brilliant Laurie Metcalf and Alison Pill, deft direction by Joe Mantello and a gorgeous production, it is the theatrical event of the season and not to be missed! GLENDA is still and always will be a force of nature!
