To her the Grail came parcel post, wrapped in bright holiday paper and crowned with a bow the size of a best-acting award. She has, in short, never had to pant after a part and rarely received so much as an unkind word from a reviewer. What she has experienced is the acclaim of the London critics, and after her new play, David Hare's Plenty, opened off-Broadway in October, almost embarrassingly ecstatic reviews in New York as well...
