'A sharp, visually-arresting theatrical experience, based on the sleeper-hit 70s film.

'Myrtle Gordon’s been a star of the stage for years. She’s loved by audiences, acclaimed by critics. Now she’s been cast in the role of a lifetime, and opening night is rapidly approaching – but something’s not quite right.

'The lines won’t stick, she can’t stay in character, reality and make-believe are starting to blur – and there’s a strange woman in her dressing room.

'Is she a ghost? A hallucination? Another Myrtle, who’s climbed out from the mirror?

'The cult classic 1977 film of what happens when a woman can’t play her role anymore, in a startling theatrical reimagining by Carissa Licciardello.'
