Laura Linney and Jessica Hecht Shine in Broadway's 'Summer, 1976'

Laura Linney and Jessica Hecht deliver finely tuned performances in David Auburn's play "Summer, 1976" at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. The play explores the friendship between two women, Diana and Alice, who met as young mothers in Columbus, Ohio. The production's small scale allows for a nuanced exploration of their relationship, with Hecht and Linney's performances bringing depth to their characters. While the play may not be for everyone, it offers a refreshing change of pace from the bombast of other recent productions.
