Disarming Rosetta Helly's Magic CupDisarming Rosetta
Synopsis:
Rosetta Ritorto is an actress. Or is she a seagull? No, she's an actress. It's Adelaide in the 1970s and Rosetta just knows she's going to be an actress. She channels Nina from the Seagull, Lady M from Macbeth and even Martha from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? the problem is, Rosetta's parents think she's possessed by the devil and summon the local priest to perform an exorcism. Join Rosetta as she graduates adolescence, has a chaotic time at Australia's leading drama school and finally enters showbiz committing one hilariously awkward faux pax after another.
