Patti & Mandy, together again

I love this interview.

Tynan

Just returned from a one-night only benefit performance of "Tynan" a one-man show starring the inimitable Corin Redgrave as the legendary critic Kenneth Tynan. The play received critical acclaim at the RSC and then later on the West End in 2004, but had never appeared in New York until now. This was Redgrave's first public performance since suffering a heart attack and coma in 2005. What a comeback! Though a few slips of the tongue and pacing pauses seemed to slow the actor down, he forged through the work, a selection of readings from Tynan's diaries. The benefit, which raised money for Broadway Cares and the Actor's Fund, was well attended in the Public Theater's Anspacher space. Seen: Vanessa Redgrave (of course!), Alec (don't call me) Baldwin, and Patrick Pacheco, who sat next to me and was a delight.
