In ‘American Classic,’ Kevin Kline and Laura Linney deliver a love letter to theater
When Richard learns his mother, a famous actress named Jane Alexander, has passed away, he returns to his childhood home in Pennsylvania. His family, a theatrical dynasty similar to the Barrymores, once owned a renowned theater, but now, due to financial struggles, it’s been reduced to hosting low-budget dinner shows like “Nunsense” and “Forever Plaid” – a far cry from the serious plays Richard grew up with.
