A humorous glimpse into the turbulent world of legendary dancer/choreographer Martha Graham. Celebrating her iconoclastic public persona and exploring the complexity of her private demons, this tongue-in-cheek story takes place in the twilight of Martha's career as she prepares herself and her dancers for her new ballet, Phaedra. We follow Martha, encountering the denizens of her eclectic world - Helen Keller, Andy Warhol, Liza Minnelli and Halston, to name a few as she struggles to stage her new season in the face of dwindling funds and increasing speculation over whether or not it is time for her to retire.
