“Together we make up the perfect woman: you’re the brains, you’re the personality, and I’m the beauty!”

And so a monthly dinner party between three friends disintegrates into chaos when one makes this stunning claim about the other two... although there is some truth to it. Six months later each of the women faces defining moments in her life. One faces a career change and extracurricular explorations. The second faces an emotional change in lifestyle as she prepares to have a baby. And the third is struggling to be more than simply "the beauty" and failing miserably. Ultimately, the three women are able to define themselves and their friendship beyond a one-dimensional view of beauty, brains, and personality. After all, they are women and reserve the right to change their minds any time they wish to.

3 females; 90-110 minutes; 1 set.
