SYNOPSIS When Sarah Bernhardt arrives unexpectedly at Eleonora Duse’s dressing room one rainy night in 1924, the lines are quickly drawn for a pitched battle between these two divas of the modern stage. What ensues is the culmination of forty years of rage, jealousy, betrayal and the contempt each bears for the other’s art. Finally, when it appears nothing’s been left unsaid, Bernhardt has one more thing to tell Duse –– the last thing Duse wants to hear. Critically-acclaimed, award-winning playwright Otho Eskin has written a riveting, provocative play about a battle of wits and cunning, fear and loss between two of the most brilliant theatre artists who ever lived.
