MEDIA RELEASE
See theatre legend Martha Henry in her final role
The Stratford Festival production of Edward Albee's Three Tall Women
premières on CBC, CBC GEM and Stratfest@Home on October 16
October 6, 2022… One of the most significant Canadian theatrical events is coming to the screen this month. The Stratford Festival's 2021 production of Edward Albee's Three Tall Women, featuring Martha Henry in her final, tour-de-force performance, will be available for a limited time in Canada on CBC, CBC Gem and Stratfest@Home.
"Martha's final transcendent performance was given in the face of her own death," says Artistic Director Antoni Cimolino. "It is a potent distillation of her strength, fierce intelligence and boundless talent. Sadly we shall not look upon her like again."
At the height of the pandemic Henry starred in an unforgettable production of Three Tall Women. It was to be her final performance; she died just 12 days after the production closed on October 9. Now this remarkable performance is available for home viewing for a limited time directed for the screen by Barry Avrich and produced by Melbar Entertainment Group.
