What happens when you find your life writing itself into a script? Five stage actresses, all over sixty, get the last chance of their careers. But when they show up for a private reading of the play with the author, something strange happens: the author is absent and the script starts to change – things the actresses say to each other end up as lines their characters say in the play.
