Rather than taking the straight and narrow biographical approach to the story, Sally Deering, who calls her work “a dream play,” imagines what might have been going through Ginsburg’s mind on the day of her death.
Talia Langman leads the cast as Ruth Bader Ginsburg in “When There are Nine” at Pride Arts Center. And while some might still be criticizing her for not stepping down from her Supreme Court seat in time for a Democratic president to replace her on the bench, the “Notorious R.B.G.,” better known as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, hung on for dear life until her death in 2020 at the age of 87.
All that, and more, is the subject of “When There are Nine,” Sally Deering’s 90-minute play that is now receiving its world premiere at the Pride Arts Center in a production directed by Sam Hess. Rather than taking the straight and narrow biographical approach to the story, Deering, who calls her work “a dream play,” imagines what might have been going through Ginsburg’s mind on the day of her death – Sept. 18, 2020 – which just happened to be Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
Actress Talia Langman not only plays Ginsburg to perfection, but her physical resemblance is uncanny. Like Ginsburg, she is petite and of extremely slender build , but she effortlessly morphs from the justice’s youth and early career days into the increasingly fragile, older, but ever feisty figure so emblematic of Ginsburg’s years on the Supreme Court, from the moment of her nomination by President Bill Clinton in 1993, until her death.
