Key quotes
· 3 pulledSurely many of us would bet the going equivalent of a farm in our certainty that the great stage actor has a long and distinguished Broadway career.
We would lose the farm, but at least the distinguished part of the statement is true.
Her first and so far only Broadway turn – as Jocasta in Robert Icke's rapturously received update of Oedipus, costarring Mark Strong in the title role – was widely praised and is a very strong contender in this year's Tony Award race for Best Actress in a Play.
