Synopsis

“FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS! IT’S GOING TO BE A BUMPY NIGHT!”

This is the famous quote from “All About Eve”, the film which came from “The
Wisdom Of Eve”. When we first meet Eve Harrington she is standing in the rain by the stage door of the theatre in which the renowned Margo Crane is starring in her latest long-run hit. Waiting for a glimpse of her professed idol, she accosts Karen
Roberts, Margo’s good friend and the wife of the playwright Lloyd Robert – and inveigles an invitation to meet the great actress herself. The meeting leads to an unexpected opportunity as Margo, struck with Eve’s sincerity, takes her on
as personal secretary and, before long, Margo has appointed Eve as her understudy. Then Eve begins to move ahead in earnest, her true character emerging.

If you have seen the film, come and see where it came from. If you haven’t, YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT!
