Glenda Jackson

The triumphant Glenda Jackson on the performance, power, and the magic trick of live theater.

When theater works, a group of strangers come on in the light, and there is this larger group of strangers sitting in the dark. An energy goes from the light to the dark, and hopefully is reinforced and sent back to you. And if that happens, a perfect circle is formed.
