Made for Jessica Lange
Her haunting role in Mother Play, like so much of her work, is one only she could perform.
Sitting in a chair next to a window in a break room at the Hayes Theater, where she’s rehearsing Mother Play, the new work by Paula Vogel( How I Learned to Drive), Jessica Lange has a regal presence and a storybook narrator’s voice. She has played Frances Farmer, Patsy Cline, Edith Bouvier Beale, Blanche DuBois, and Tamora, Queen of the Goths, as well as a gallery of scary oddballs in Ryan Murphy ’s series American Horror Story. Without them, there are no layers of personality for Mr. Baldwin’s Stanley to rip through.” The director was Gregory Mosher, longtime head of theater at Lincoln Center, where he was known for debuting productions of new works, including Six Degrees of Separation, Hurlyburly, SwimmingtoCambodia, and Mulebone, and for his collaborations with Samuel Beckett during the final decade of the writer’s life.
