Content Advice
Bebe Cave’s critically-acclaimed dark comedy of delusion, desperation and dreams.
‘Full of madcap ideas… a riot from start to finish.’
Broadway Baby

Betsy Bitterly is an aspiring actress in 1930s Hollywood, so desperate to become a star that she might just sacrifice herself along the way.

Through a series of “screen tests” for roles that could change her life, Betsy herself changes in ways she never expected in her never ending quest to “make it”.

But what does “making it” really mean? And when do you let go of the dream?

Directed by Millie Foy
