THEATER

On Broadway

PORTRAIT OF A QUEEN is part dear-diary journal and part dusty political imbroglios, but mostly a record of a woman who also happened to be Queen Victoria. Dorothy Tutin wears the role like a tiara, moving from a spoiled child of power to a yielding, sensuous wife to a desolate widow with the fatigue of existence in her voice.
