Five minutes before show time, Mr. Mae West learns it’s the final curtain for his impersonation act – not only is he dreadful, he’s irrelevant to current audiences. Just in time, Mae West herself materializes from the great beyond to show him how to truly be her.

Written by local playwright Kathryn O’Sullivan and directed by Paul Awad, MAE is playing at Flashpoint’s Mead Theatre Lab through October 2.
