The story
In New Haven, Connecticut, Myrtle Gordon is a famous but troubled middle-aged actress performing out-of-town previews of a new play called The Second Woman before its Broadway run.
The incident unsettles Myrtle, who goes to the girl's shiva, though her family greets her coolly.
Over the course of numerous performances, Myrtle departs from the play's script in myriad ways, including changing her lines, throwing props around the set, breaking the fourth wall, and collapsing on stage.
