ABOUT THE PROJECT
A multimedia gesamtkunstwerk that shows the high definition foibles of the ladies in front of the American Television camera. A “Topgirls” for a new generation, the play brings together celebrity, luminary ladies in a real dreamscape – Oprah, Annie Liebovitz, Ann Curry, cross paths via an imagined and fantastical transatlantic flight through the a more spiritualized and lyrical contemporary zeitgeist.
