Why would replacing Glenn Close lead to "pitting" actresses against each other?
Streep has been vocal about the fact that she would only return to Broadway in new play, so it'd make sense if she came back in Kushner's new play, especially given their history working together on projects like the ANGELS IN AMERICA TV adaptation and MOTHER COURAGE on stage.
