A complex drama set in the world of a professional theatre company, following Lizzie, a working theatre actor playing Lady Macduff in a bold and visceral production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. When the play’s internationally successful auteur director, Helmut, pushes the cast beyond their limits, Lizzie is thrown into a dark and unacceptable world of onstage violence and brutality, causing her to question a life of commitment and sacrifice to her calling. It is a compelling, unsettling and triumphant examination of what it means to be a woman in a world that celebrates male genius.
