The Killing of Sister George
“The story of three consenting adults in the privacy of their own home.”
When June Buckridge arrives at her London flat and announces 'They are going to murder me', her long-time lover and doll-cuddling flat mate Alice 'Childie' McNaught realizes that things are going to change. For June is referring to her character 'Sister George', a lovable nurse she portrays in a popular daytime serial. To make matters worse, the widowed executive at the BBC responsible for the decision to kill off Sister George - Mercy Croft is also a predatory lesbian who is after Childie and will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
A biting, often uncomfortable look at the performative nature of identity and the corrosive effects of fame. It feels like a smoke-filled room where secrets fester and desires curdle under the glare of the television spotlight.
