designated mourner full frame
a unique and disturbing work the designated mourner is the feature film version of wallace shawns hugely successful play which was first staged by david hare at londons royal national theatre with mike nichols whose brilliant performance was the talk of the town in the leading role of jack . the play has now been created anew for the screen by the same cast writer director and designer . told almost entirely in direct address the screenplay by wallace shawn is an astonishing tour de force as enthralling as his earlier cult classic my dinner with andre written and performed with andre gregory . directed by playwright filmmaker david hare starring miranda richardson david de keyser and one of americas most famous film directors mike nichols in his feature film acting debut the designated mourner is a genuinely original intimate and compelling experience .
