Jessica Lange Talks ‘Mother Play’, Bad Moms & How To Mesmerize An Audience With 12 Minutes Of Silence – Deadline Q&A
Jessica Lange talks 'Mother Play,' Tony Awards and bad moms in this Deadline Q&A.
Towards the end of Paula Vogel’s hit Broadway drama Mother Play, all dialogue comes to a halt for 12 long, mesmerizing minutes, and Jessica Lange is on stage, alone, for every second of them. Set in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s, Mother Play, directed by Tina Landau, is based on Vogel’s real-life family events, including the death of her beloved brother, and knowing the source only makes the tragedy onstage more affecting. In this candid conversation, Lange, whose starring role in the Broadway-themed HBO film The Great Lillian Hall is drawing rave reviews, discusses the new play, the character and some other very bad mothers she’s portrayed so memorably.
