It was the hottest ticket in Newport: the Jane Pickens Theater & Event Center on Washington Square hosted the premiere of the much anticipated film “Evening” for the closing night of the 10th annual Newport International film Festival. All proceeds benefited the Festival.
Billed as a film featuring great actresses, “Evening” stars Vanessa Redgrave, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Eileen Atkins, Toni Colette, and Natasha Richardson. It is a drama exploring the romantic past and emotional present of Ann Grant, played by Redgrave, and her daughters, Constance and Nina. As Ann is dying, she remembers, and is moved to tell her daughters, about defining moments in her life 50 years earlier. The young Ann is played by Claire Danes., who was on hand for the premiere, as was actress Mamie Gummer.
“Evening” was filmed entirely in Rhode Island, and director Hungarian-born director Lajos Koltai, who makes his English-language debut. Koltai said of Rhode Island, “I felt like I couldn’t make the film anywhere else.”
Jane Pickens Theater owner Kathy Staab greeted Governor and Mrs. Donald Carcieri, Attorney General Patrick Lynch, the Rhode Island Arts Council’s Randall Rosenbaum, Vice Admiral Thomas Wechsler, Co-chair of Tall Ships 2007, Mrs. Claiborne Pell and her grandson Eames Yates, and the film’s Pulitzer prize winning author Thomas Cunningham, Director Lajos Koltai, Producer Jill Footlick, and Danes and Gummer. Actor Jason Isaacs arrived with Jason Clarke, and movie extras Frances Dolce and Frances Syner brought their husbands. Interior designers Greer Beecroft and Eileen Marcuvitz attended, along with architect Ross Cann , his wife Leah, and Rhode Island judge Caprio and his wife, Joyce. Also attending: Chairman of the Board of NIFF Brendan Kelley, Carrie Townsend, Festival Award winners Mark Urman (“Taxi in the Dark”, “In the Shadow of the Moon”,) Tricia Regan, (“Autism, the Musical,”) and Leah Pipes (“Her Best Move”), Jonathan and Bette Pardee, Chairman of the Newport Flower Show and author of “Private Newport”.
