- Outer Critics Circle Nom., “Best Actress” – Marion Seldes, Dear Liar
“Just how much will be lost when the art of writing letters is completely vanquished by more transitory forms of communication — like, say, the exchange of idiotic e-mail jokes — is tenderly conveyed in “Dear Liar,” Jerome Kilty’s 1958 play adapted from the correspondence between George Bernard Shaw and Mrs. Patrick Campbell. In a diverting and often poignant new revival at the Irish Repertory Theater, Marian Seldes and Donal Donnelly ably spar and flirt in the guise of these towering theatrical figures, bringing to life an immortally lively relationship and in the process giving a commanding view onto a vanished era.” –The New York Times
