Lindsay Lohan's latest attempt at redemption is off to a rocky start. Lohan made her stage debut last night in David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow at London's Playhouse Theater, and her performance, according to Vulture, was far from spotless. While she "hit every cue" in the first act while her co-stars stumbled, things got rough in act two:
But the second act, dominated by a complicated speech by Karen [Lohan's character], was an undeniable mess. Lohan forgot a line, and then — less forgivably — broke character briefly to laugh when the line was whispered from the wings. By the end of her monologue she had been fed four lines, and a fifth prompt arrived before the act's close. It happened so frequently that it felt like the person calling out the script from behind the scenes had become another character in the play. [Vulture]
