Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Two women who meet by chance make a pact to fix their unhappy lives: they will each do what the other one says. But one has a secret: She knows her husband is sleeping with the younger woman. Madelyn's plan backfires when aspiring actress Lucy orders her to play King Lear in a very amateur production, with Lucy playing the Fool. Madelyn's life is transformed in unexpected ways as, like Lear, she struggles with matters of mortality and betrayal, loyalty, and love. Written by Paragraph Pictures |
