When she has finished, ANNIE whips off her eccentric clothes beneath which is a red-head in black underwear who is ANNA, a working-class student who has just achieved her degree in French, and is making up to go on a date with her boyfriend. This date is going to be very different from previous dates - she's now a B.A. first-class honours, and has gained a devastating confidence. Made up she looks stunning; but her red hair is a wig, and the dress she puts on is really two dresses.

She has been interviewed endlessly, and is about to face three more, She rehearses deceit. To the first she'll offer the image of a modest writer; to the second, an arrogant writer; to the third, tired of play-acting, she offers the truthful image: a terrified writer who fears she's mediocre.Each woman feels flawed, each woman tries to survive the flaws. |
