Show-Biz Screenplay Follows Two Small-town Girls Chasing Big-city Dreams
NEW YORK – Two young sisters from Iowa embark on their lifelong dream to become actresses in New York City in Lawrence J. Corneck’s enthralling new screenplay,Bubble Catcher. But their aspirations change dramatically when they meet and team up with an Eastern-European mobster, Armond, in a story that challenges the lengths we’re willing to go – and those we’re willing to betray – for fame, money and power.
Ardelle and her sister Tiffany have always been flung into competition with one another, ever since their mother played a disturbing game to determine which daughter she would raise and which one she would send off to an orphanage. Though Ardelle was given away, Tiffany still remained close to her and over time they cemented their bond, relying on one another for strength and support and finally chasing their shared dream of becoming real actresses all the way to the mean streets of New York.
But New York has other plans for the two sisters as small-time mobster, Armond, latches onto Ardelle who quickly takes on the persona of Neptune, a rising starlet of the stage. Tiffany is otherwise shunned by her sister and Armond, Ardelle’s self-proclaimed agent who utilizes his fists to make things happen for Ardelle. But Tiffany finds an ally in Tan, Armond's hulking enemy. The four then vie for a role in producer Garrity Desmond’s new production.
Cutthroat competition and a desperate need for fame and fortune tear at these characters, driving them to extremes of success and failure. Will their greed and betrayal take its final toll? Find out in the well-paced, riveting pages of Bubble Catcher.
