Ripped Bodice

Her name is Leigh Majors and she isn’t going to change it. She works hard in her off-Broadway theatre as a director of small, critically acclaimed plays. She has a sane and happy marriage with Michael, and a delightful best friend in Maddie. Her mother, the famous Bridie Hart, was America’s favorite TV sitcom mom, who can only play the role of a good mother if somebody else writes the dialogue. Leigh and Bridie have a tense, standoffish relationship on a good day. Still, Leigh’s life is quiet, calm and under control.

But what if Leigh could have more? What if she could have a passionate, romantic relationship? What if she could have (or even become) the mother she always wanted? What if she could step out of her small downtown theatre and direct a Broadway play? What if all of these possibilities open up for Leigh when her husband writes a Broadway-ready play that could become Leigh’s big directorial break? But there’s just one catch: the play will star her mother, the one and only Bridie Hart.

What follows is a Six-Million Dollar adventure where Leigh directs her mother in her husband’s play, Women In Hats. Leigh steps through the looking glass, where her whole life turns upside-down and gets so much better.
