The Leonard Lopate Show | Dec 10, 2014

Glenn Close, John Lithgow, and Lindsay Duncan discuss the new production of Edward Albee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, "A Delicate Balance." Close and Lithgow play a long-married couple who must maintain their equilibrium over the course of a weekend as they welcome home their 36-year old daughter after the collapse of her fourth marriage, and give shelter to their best friends who seek refuge in their home, all the while tolerating Agnes’ alcoholic live-in sister, Claire, played by Duncan. "A Delicate Balance" is now playing at The Golden Theater.
