SYNOPSIS

THE ACTRESS, set in the 1940's, dramatises the events backstage as a colourful, complicated actress makes her farewell performance, while dealing with unexpected visitors. Drama and comedy collide as people say their goodbyes, declare their love, roar with laughter, exchange insults, grab a final embrace, and renew old battles.
