I never get tired of watching this video ! I adore the way Maggie says : " mysterious " at 0:58. I can't help laughing when she says : " I can not accept meeereeely.. I do not do anything MERELY " Ha! Ha! :D

Thanks for posting it, Margaret !

You're very welcome! I'm glad you like it so much! Isn't Maggie great?! :D

Dame Maggie Smith is really a GREAT actress, one of the best of our times. Thanks God the UK provides us with excellent actors and actresses. Any chance to see some more parts of this lovely play, "Lettice & Lovage"?

I'm excited to say I saw Dame Maggie Smith perform in "Lettice & Lovage" on Broadway. And to make the story even sweeter...I was dead center in the front row. To this day, that experience has not been topped.

Am I supposed to laugh, cry, scream, or do all at once?

Why was this never turned into a film, or at least video taped for Public Broadcasting? Harry Potter is done and Maggie could still play the part. Come on, PBS. I'd be willing to drop a few extra bucks on the next fund drive if they offered a chance to see the full play.

It seems like I also saw a clip of this were she is on the stairs with the tourists and telling a story. I wish I could see it again. This clip is great. Maggie Smith understands the idea of relishing every moment. Brilliant

@mattdemon @stachi421 wow, lucky ones, I would stand on my head to be able to watch that :( I have found the recording in the catalog of the library, but the pond is a bit wide for me to be able to jump over it :) ... Now, is there a [barely legal] way to smuggle it out of the library, make a copy and return it? :) Seriously, though, I would give anything to be able to watch that. :|

Is there a DVD for this production? I couldn't find it on Amazon. I would buy it in a heartbeat, she's absolutely hilarious:) I laughed out loud when she said: "At the moment you exude a certain grey integrity, please do not try to contaminate it with colour." What I can't understand, however, is WHYOHWHY aren't there MORE of these wonderful performances captured on camera? It would be a delight to watch more of DMS on stage, where she spent 50+ years.

@mirrenfan2 Lucky you! I only got to see her when the RSC brought "All's Well" to Broadway. I've been kicking myself for decades for not going to see her at the Canadian Stratford. A friend who acted with her there told me she redefined the word "trouper"--going on with migraines so painful he was surprised she could stand up, let alone play Mrs. Alving magnificently. Every actor I know wants to die with their greasepaint on and I'm glad to know she was in demand to the very end.

@bobzeschin Thanks for your comment. I was very lucky to see Margaret Tyzack onstage in 2009 in "Phédre". She was amazing.
