NEW YORK—David Hare’s 1982 drama “Plenty” is receiving a laudable revival at the Public Theater, the site of the play’s first appearance in New York years ago.

Susan Traherne (Rachel Weisz) is one of those people who must live for a cause. So it’s no surprise that this Brit chooses to become a courier behind enemy lines in France during World War II.

Rachel Weisz exhibits consummate skill in her quicksilver emotional changes.
