Synopsis: Barricaded in the basement family room Rose (43) examines her life, slowly exploring a betrayal. Rose is an artist without a body of work. For 16 years Rose has made small life choices (she thought) but on the morning her professor husband leaves to meet a female graduate student Rose realizes she has betrayed the girl-artist within. Bitter Rose is a painfully funny, brutally honest play about women artists' burning desire to create and what happens to creative women who also take on being a mother and a wife. | ||||
