Let Them All Talk features an all-star cast including
Meryl Streep, Candice Bergen, Gemma Chan, Lucas Hedges and
Dianne Wiest.
Let Them All Talk, which premieres on Saturday, 22 May at 9pm exclusively on HBO GO and HBO, follows a celebrated author (Streep) who boards an ocean liner with old friends (Bergen and Wiest) to have some fun and heal old wounds. Her nephew (Hedges) comes along to wrangle the ladies as well as her new literary agent (Chan).
Oscar®, Emmy®, and Golden Globe® winner, Meryl Streep (HBO’s “Big Little Lies”, “The Iron Lady”), plays the withholding and lofty novelist, Alice Hughes, whose career success has made her a stranger to her oldest friends and she tries to restore the bond she once had with her college mates. Emmy® winner and Oscar® nominee Candice Bergen (“Murphy Brown”, “Miss Congeniality”) plays Roberta, who accepts Alice’s invitation in search of compensation for the havoc Alice’s most famous novel wreaked on her life. Oscar®, Emmy®, and Golden Globe® winner Dianne Wiest (“Hannah and Her Sisters”, “Bullets Over Broadway”) plays Susan, who works with incarcerated women and is ostensibly the most diplomatic and sensitive of the group. As the women reminisce and air old grievances with banter and bite, Alice harbours serious doubts about her much anticipated next manuscript – and keeps the particulars of her personal life close to the chest.
