The Show

Synopsis

Young TV actress and household celebrity Chloe Collins has quit the TV show that made her name and is making her stage debut in an offbeat production of Oscar Wilde's Salomé. Directed by a New York wunderkind fresh from a major Broadway success, and produced by an award-winning theatre company, the stakes are high, not just for Chloe.
The fact that she can't even seem to learn her lines doesn't exactly help. When she suffers a personal tragedy a week before opening night, the mounting media attention surrounding the project intensifies. Chloe has a lot to prove to a lot of people, right in the glare of the public eye.
