Theatre: Leonard Rossiter & Nola Rae

Arena looks at two virtuoso solo performances: Leonard Rossiter is currently tackling his most demanding role, alone on stage for two hours as the mad 18th-century painter Benjamin Haydon, whose life of wild fantasy and ambition ended in suicide; meanwhile, Nola Rae is a mime artist, clown, and one of the funniest women on the stage.
