NEW YORK—In Frank Marcus’s entertaining The Killing of Sister George, now in a revival by TACT (The Actors Company Theatre), the person “killed” is actually a character in a BBC radio soap opera.
Sister George, a bike-riding nurse in a small Brit village, played by June Buckridge (Caitlin O'Connell), may soon meet a sad end, June fears. Her appearances have not been as frequent as in the past, and that’s usually a clear sign that the character’s presence may soon be dispensed with.
June, a rather tough, rough, cigar-smoking lesbian, takes to drink, and further takes out her anxiety on her flatmate, her very antithesis, Childie (Margot White), so nicknamed for her ultra-feminine, delicate manner.
