âThe Screen Testâ written and performed by Bebe Cave. A one-woman-show about delusion, desperation and dreams. A dark comedy.
Betsy Bitterly is an aspiring actress in 1930s Hollywood. A coming-of-age tale about a girl who is desperate to become a star, even if she sacrifices herself along the way. Through a series of âscreen testsâ for film roles that could change her life, Betsy herself changes in ways she never expected. She falls in love, makes friends and foes, and loses track of her moral compass in her never ending quest to âmake itâ. But what does âmaking itâ really mean? And when do you let go of the dream?
