Nightingale

Nightingale, is a one-actor play written and peformed by Tony award nominee Lynn Redgrave (Mrs. Warren’s Profession) and tells the story of Mildred Asher whose voice, like the song of the Nightingale, can only be heard in the dark. Inspired by memories of the playwright’s maternal grandmother, Beatrice Kempson, mother of the late Lady Redgrave, and written for her lifelong friend Caroline John, Nightingale is a fitting tribute to family, to friendship and to the savagery of time and obligation.
