ejp626 Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Death of natural causes, not COVID-related: https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/obit-brian-dennehy-1.5534605 He always loved the stage more than TV or the movies, and he returned to the stage, more or less for good by the late 90s. I was lucky enough to see him in Krapp's Last Tape in Chicago and Waiting for Godot at Stratford. I was supposed to see him in the 3+ hour epic version of The Iceman Cometh, but I got sick as a dog and had to cancel my trip out to New York.

It was paired with a one-act by O'Neill (Hughie) which was good, but Krapp's Last Tape was at a whole 'nother level after the intermission. It's a tricky piece, and he was great in it. I don't know if it was recorded, but it certainly should have been. (Same with the Iceman Cometh that I missed out on.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
