Meryl Streep with Hugh Grant: Film Screening & Conversation

Meryl Streep returns to 92Y’s Reel Pieces series with her new film, Florence Foster Jenkins. Following a preview screening of the film, co-stars Hugh Grant, Simon Helberg and director Stephen Frears join Streep for an onstage conversation moderated by Annette Insdorf.

Florence Foster Jenkins (in theaters on August 12) is based on the life of Jenkins, a New York socialite who loved to sing, despite a dubious voice. Her invitation-only concerts were renowned for their amusement — including her flamboyant costumes — in the late 1930s and early 40s. Hugh Grant co-stars as her partner in work and love. Jenkins’ life also provides the inspiration for the recently released French film Marguerite.
