Explores the life of Cora Urquhart Potter, who abandoned her position in New York society to embark on a two decade stage career. Her defiance of convention both mirrored and propelled the changes transforming fin de siecle theatre and society, and she became a lightning rod for criticism within a social milieu and a profession still fervidly clinging to Victorian ideals.
