The Actress

Overview

The stage has been Lydia's home and now it's time to say goodbye. Her past connections bring love, laugher, insults, and embraces to her dressing room as this colourful, complicated actress says farewell.

The curtain is ready to rise on Lydia Martin’s final performance before retirement. As Lydia prepares to farewell the stage her family, friends, rivals, and colleagues descend upon her dressing room to deliver gracious goodbyes and settle past scores. There’s as much drama and comedy backstage as there is onstage in this witty, smart, and emotional tribute to the power of leading ladies everywhere.
