The story takes place over the course of an evening that soon becomes very abstract. Sam and Emily are awaiting guests when, without warning or explanation, Emily recoils from him in horror. Before they can understand what has happened, their friends arrive and they are forced to play host. The rest of the evening is dominated by their guests' abuse of wine, culture and cruel mockery, while Sam and Emily struggle to grasp the changes taking place between them.
This is an update of George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion" that changes the genders of the main characters. Hannah Higgins attempts to turn blue-collar Boston beer vendor Elliot Doolittle into a viable candidate and inadvertently learns something of Elliot's side of life.
Scarlett Redmond is known for DRIB (2017), Prefigured (2019) and The Makeover (2013).
