About this Event

Kaira Ofor is a "once-in-a-generation" talent, a force of nature on stage who leaves audiences breathless. Yet, while her peers ascend to stardom, Kaira remains in the wings, her career stalled by a silent, devastating price: she refused the "propositions" of Bryan Santis, the charismatic and ruthless CEO of the country’s most prestigious touring theatre.


Sydney Talsi took the other path. Now the face of the company, Sydney’s image towers over billboards from New York to London. She is the golden girl, the producer’s favourite, and Kaira’s closest frenemy. Their relationship is a volatile cocktail of shared dreams and bitter envy, forged in the high-stakes pressure cooker of professional theatre. For years, Kaira has watched Sydney collect the accolades and wealth that should have been hers, while Kaira struggled just to keep her name on the playbill.

The glass ceiling shatters when Sydney accuses Bryan of brutal sexual abuse, sparking a legal war that threatens to burn the theatre to the ground. As the sole witness to Bryan’s patterns, Kaira holds the K*ll shot. But Bryan offers a final, devil’s bargain: her testimony for the victim, or the global stardom she’s been denied for years. To destroy her predator, Kaira must save the rival who stole her life, or take the juiciest contract in theatre history and lose her soul.
