synopsis</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>:
It’s Tuesday night at a small theatre, and the entire audience of eight
people has departed at intermission. Arthur, a veteran actor, visits the
costume shop where the wardrobe mistress, Rose, is a thrice-retired actress of
some reknown. These are two nice people who respect and care for each other.
But when Arthur, whose confidence is at an all-time low, tries to provoke Rose
into advising him as to whether or not he should quit acting, she will have
none of it. Eventually, Rose reveals secret from her past, that may or may not
be true; and in so doing, she manipulates Arthur into making his own decisions
about acting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
