Press Release for Whatever Happened To Bette And Joan?

(I actually wrote this.  I wanted it to sound as vapid and vacuous as possible.)

Some Thoughts on "Whatever Happened to Bette and Joan?"

Rob Matsushita's "Whatever Happened to Bette and Joan," Broom Street Theatre's first show of the new millenium, is a two-person show about the infamous rivalry between two of Hollywood's most notable actresses:  Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.

Much of the show takes place in "The AfterLife," an existence that seems to be neither Heaven nor Hell.  A place that has its own Hollywood system (Bette and Joan, from time to time, name-drop to the audience about which famous dead people are still currently working--and which aren't), a place where you can look whatever age you want, live in whatever setting you want to live, and every first take is perfect--although, as Bette Davis points out, Stanley Kubrick still retakes one hundred times for every shot.
