SYNOPSIS
Reflected memories are not always real.
From one of Canberra’s-own we present the World Premiere of Baby Jane. This is an amazing work, with no holds barred. The classic Gothic thriller, about two reclusive sisters living together in a decaying Hollywood mansion –one a former child star of early vaudeville desperate to reclaim her early fame, and the other, a successful Hollywood actress whose career tragically ended after a terrible car accident.
Baby Jane opens wide the complexities of family, sibling rivalry, talent and fame and how they can go terribly wrong.
