From Bette Davis' first Oscar win in 1935 to Joan Crawford's death in 1977, these two Hollywood divas waged a bitter personal feud competing for acting roles, top billing, Academy Awards and men.

Egging the celluloid luminaries on is reigning gossip queen Hedda Hopper, publishing and profiting from her notes on Davis' notorious one-liners and Crawford's sly maneuvering.

The play was wonderful, the actors did an incredible job but our only complaint is that the theatre was so hot that is was difficult to really get into the whole experience...Written on Jul 07 2008

Description
On the eve of her 25th birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the return of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father's who is searching for valuable work in the 103 notebooks her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a romance and the discovery of a secret notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father's madness--or genius--did she inherit?
