She is "now about to appear on the Great White Way for the very first time," wrote Smith. "She confirmed that she is probably only days away from signing for a Broadway drama, Fester (sic). 'I've done off-B'way, but never the big deal itself!' said she."
Directed by Rufus Norris, the show is David Eldridge's English-language adaptation of the Danish Thomas Vinterberg's play and film. The latter was a project of Dogme, the school of film that emphasizes a minimalist, digital look. Festen was previously a hit at the Almeida Theatre and on the West End, at the Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue. "The Klingenfelt family gathers to celebrate the 60th birthday of its patriarch, Helge. When his son Christian is asked to make a toast, Christian reveals a dark family secret," according to press notes.
