Bette Davis led a very interesting life. She was a Hollywood movie star at a time when actors were on contract with studios. Accordingly, they played the roles given to them by the studios. This had a huge influence on Bette, not only in terms of the movies she made, but also in her attitudes toward her work and her struggles to win the roles she wanted. This play is a retrospective of her career, as told by her at the age of 43. She reprises some of her movie roles, from Mildred in Of Human Bondage, 1934, to Margo Channing in All About Eve, 1950. Along the way, she reveals details about her personal life during those years. This one-woman, one-hour monologue, with an on-stage dresser playing multiple small occasional roles, is performed on a simple single set. There are many costume and wig changes, which are done on stage without a break in the performance. The play is a retrospective of the life and career of Bette Davis, done in the first person.
