L.A. Drama Critics Circle Award Winner
Lynn Redgrave
Best Solo Performance
for NIGHTINGALE
RAY STRICKLYN MEMORIAL AWARD FOR SOLO PERFORMANCE
Reviews
"It is her skill as a performer that allows Ms. Redgrave to
hold the stage for 90 minutes in the same elegantly cut
slacks and classic jacket and make us believe that decades
are rolling by. By the end, the alchemy of her acting has
turned the natty jacket into a worn old cardigan." —
Sylviane Gold,
The New York Times
"With her faultless delivery,
crystal-clear enunciation and underplayed relationship with the
audience, Redgrave brings us into a very special world, compounded
equally of the English stage and the English aristocracy."
— Laurence Vittes,
Hollywood Reporter
"Beautifully written and performed"
— Terri Roberts,
Theatermania
"Redgrave’s delightful solo show begins in
[a] graveyard, where she masterfully creates a tragic-comical story"
— Lovell Estell III,
L.A. Weekly
"This bitter-sweet birdsong deserves to be
heard by all." -- Andrew Wilson,
The Independent Sunday

Nightingale is Lynn

(loosely based on her mother, actress Rachel Kempson).
