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>
