Gillian Anderson and Lily James in National Theatre Live: All About Eve (2019)

This is performed in the Noël Coward theatre and is an adaptation from the well known film. This story revolves around aspiring actress Eve Harrington (Lily James). Tattered and forlorn, Eve shows up in the dressing room of Broadway mega-star Margo Channing (Gillian Anderson) and tells Margo and her friends a melancholy life story. Margo takes Eve under her wing, only to have Eve use her and connive against her.

Yawn

What should have been a thrilling theatrical event falls flat, mainly due to the one note performance of Gillian Anderson. There is no spark, no fire to her Margo Channing. I cannot imagine anyone standing in the rain nightly to see this Margo on stage. Adding a foolish song for Margo sing during Bill's party brings what little action there is to a standstill. Showing Margo resting her head against the rim of a toilet bowl filled with vomit is a huge mistake.

Birdie, Miss Caswell, Max, Bill, Lloyd, Karen and especially Addison are all miscast. The only person who comes off well here is Lily James as Eve.

Lastly, the humor doesn't play well. The script is funny, the humor subtle, but again it falls flat. The cast unable to put the humor across.

PJ Harvey's score, which plays under the entire production is intrusive. It works against the dialogue.

Never at anytime do you feel any empathy for Anderson's Margo. A better title for this mess would be "Who Cares About Margo?"
