Lange describes the play as a 'play of old sorrow, written in tears and blood,' and she believes it to be one of the greatest American plays ever written. She emphasizes the emotional depth and universality of the story, stating that it resonates with many people, especially in today's world. In the film, Lange portrays Mary Tyrone, the matriarch of a family who struggles with morphine addiction and faces loneliness and concerns about her sons' well-being. Lange expresses her deep affection for the character, saying, 'Mary Tyrone is one of these parts which mean the world to me. ' She finds it thrilling to take on such a significant role. Lange has a fond memory of her time in Scotland while filming Rob Roy alongside Liam Neeson. She recalls the beauty of the Highlands and the special moments spent with her family during that time.

She is set to star in a film adaptation of Joan Didion's memoir, The Year of Magical Thinking, and she is also interested in exploring the life of the iconic German actress Marlene Dietrich. This project will delve into Dietrich's journey as she moved to America and became a US citizen. Lange hopes to begin this project soon. Despite Hollywood's tendency to overlook older women, Jessica Lange, now 75 years old, remains a strong advocate for their representation and continues to pursue meaningful roles.
