Waiting in the wings

Edward Fleming, Denmark, 1987

103 min.DK/Feature

Edward Fleming directed a stage production of Noel Coward's "Waiting in the Wings" in 1981. When he brought the comedy into the film studios, he brought along some of his stage actresses as well. The empathy between director and actresses is obvious in the individual showcasing of each of the ladies appearing on the screen as the squabbling inhabitants of a home for retired distaff thespians.
