Complementing Lithgow's performance is that of Madeline Adams as his queen. Miss Adam's sorrowful Isabella speaks her lines, among the best in the play, with control and polish. She and Janet Leslie, Edward's niece, make wonderfully feminine contrast with the angry lords who battle Edward...
...please? But Daddy said no, and since Daddy is Commander in Chief of just about everything there is in the U.S. these days, Lucy Baines Johnson, 16, didn't get to see the Beatles at all.
