Vanessa Redgrave

This profile offers a fascinating insight into the art of one of Britain's leading actresses. The film centres on a revealing interview in which Redgrave talks about her preparation for, and performance of, several major roles. Her versatility is demonstrated in a specially-shot sequence in which she gives two different interpretations of a key moment from Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, and in rehearsal footage of a stage production based on Bertolt Brecht's years of exile in America.
