Pauline knows that you're looking at her. People always do. Her response is to look right back — hard — until you drop or soften your gaze. You better. Pauline is determined to make you feel more embarrassed by the fact of her existence than she is.

In a bold and expert performance that makes no concessions to an actor's vanity or an audience's sympathy, the august British actor Simon Callow portrays — no, fully inhabits — Pauline in Emmanuel Darley's "Tuesdays at Tesco's." This bleak portrait of a woman defending her identity, which opened on Tuesday night at 59E59 as part of the Brits Off Broadway festival, is letting no one off easy.

The play sounds quite fascinating. Wish I lived in NY.
