    “ A thrilling 2-hander with a real gut punch at the end that couldn't be more timely. ”

    “ This fast-paced two-hander is firmly rooted in the #MeToo era, but will resonate with audiences far into the future. Bentley-Quinn shows us two women at the height of their success, yet both are trapped—literally and metaphorically—by the choices they have made to get themselves there. A great read and what I can imagine is be great material for two powerhouse actors! ”

    “ A powerful look at abuse of power in the entertainment industry and what it means to be a woman. Well done. ”

DIANE (F, late 40s/early 50s) - A very famous actress. Think Meryl Streep-ish.
KIM (F, 20s) - Also a famous actress, but not as famous.

-Diane must be played by a white woman
-Kim must be played by a woman of color
