Leading Lady Parts

Emma Thompson, Joanna Lumley, and Jessica Hynes — three titans of British acting — arrive at an audition for the role of a lifetime: a complex, strong, modern woman. Each is armed with decades of experience and a formidable talent, poised to claim the part as their own. Behind the audition room door, however, awaits not just professional rivalry but a sharp, unexpected confrontation with their own ambitions, insecurities, and the ghosts of careers past. The quest for a single role becomes a hilarious and poignant mirror held up to the very nature of performance and identity.
