MELBOURNE, VIC. — Yes. It’s her, Zoe. The multi-award-winning actress and beloved cultural icon. Here for a bougie evening amongst you, her adoring public, so you may bask in the reflected light of her divine, twinkling star.
And to show you devils how much you mean to her, Zoe’s going to tell you the secret to her success.
She’s going to tell you how to take a life.
Watch a timid actress metamorphose into a megastar on a murder spree.
Be seduced by her twinkling charm and earthy charisma.
Quiver in your seat as the truths of our society are laid bare in naked revelation.
This hagiographic history, told by a narcissistic maniac, exposes the rage of the exploited and the shadowy voices of authority that direct our fates from the wings.
It’s Chicago meets Sunset Boulevard meets Monster.
