Dame Helen Mirren (my #1 girl crush) is currently starring as Phèdre at the National Theatre in London (my #1 arts institution crush). Stuck Stateside this summer? You’re in luck: Starting on June 25, the National will be beaming the production to cinemas around the world.
Filmed theater is always a little bit dicey, but I’ll chance it for the opportunity to see La Mirren play the iconic Athenian queen who’s crazy in love with her stepson. (Let’s see, would
Cristina Nehring
approve?)
