    Whatever Bette Wants...
    THE ANNIVERSARY is a tale of motherhood gone horribly wrong. Mrs. Taggart (screen icon Bette Davis) is the matriarch of a bizarre family. With her husband long dead, Mrs. T keeps her three grown sons under her control through extremely devious, even criminal means.

    Tonight, on her 40th wedding anniversary, two of her sons will attempt to leave her grasp. Mum's reaction and subsequent schemes are the black heart of this wonderfully twisted story.

    Watch as Mrs. Taggart plots and weaves her inescapable web.

    Ms. Davis is absolutely diabolical in her role. She is the dark matter that holds this beautiful black comedy together. Let us bow before the Queen...
