Ladylike

Directed by Taylor Coriell

Besties LUCILLE and OLIVIA are in a pickle. Their personal heroine, the great SARAH BERNHARDT, is coming to New York on tour with her latest play, and is making a special visit to a gentleman-only club in Gramercy Park. Women are obviously not allowed entrance to the club– except The Divine Sarah, for this One Night Only™.

Lucille has an idea: borrow Olivia’s brother MARTIN’s clothes and sneak in, easy peasy. But Olivia isn’t so sure…what would her fiance, NIGEL, think? After some major convincing, the two ladies swagger into the club in Martin’s finest, hoping for a glimpse of the superstar.

As the gates lower for them to enter this hazy new world, they get a glimpse of life as a man: cigars, brandy, dancing like no one is watching, you get it. Free for one night only from the stifling corsetry of their life, their futures seem more full of possibilities. A lot can change in one night– especially the very definition of “ladylike.”
