Introduction

Margot Mason, Feminist, writer, and fearless academic is trying to write her next life-altering bestseller in her cottage in the country. Despite having radically changed women's lives with her controversial books again and again, despite international acclaim and celebrity, Margot is wrestling with writer's block. Enter Molly, student and idealist, one of those most deeply affected by Margot's writings. But this is not a fan visit: Molly has issues. What unfolds is a deliciously wicked comedy that deftly walks the tightrope between satire and farce.

Caroline Doyle, Director.
