The Lorraine Boccardo Theater

Los Angeles, 2014. Nearly 20 years ago, Anne was persuaded to give up the love of her life. When Celia Wentworth suddenly walks into her house, will she be able to forgive Anne? Will Anne have the courage, this time, to stand up for what she wants? Will Anne’s family, full of faded television stars, ever tolerate a transition to moderately-priced moisturizers and out-of-season Birkin bags?
