Dolores was just proposed to by the Love of Her Life. Yay! The predicament, however, is Dolores has grown up believing she’s the problem.  So, she does what any rational adult facing a difficult decision would do: she breaks the space/time continuum and recruits Helen of Troy, Salome and Lolita to help her sort through her early childhood trauma. Thus ensues a joyride of epic star-crossed introspection and poetry. They whirl their way through a voyage of patriarchal proportions, culminating in the trial of the century in which they are judge, jury and executioner of the “he said, she said,” paradigm. Can Dolores learn to love herself, forgive herself and sing through Cassiopeia and the Himalayas just to eat spring rolls covered in diamonds with the Love of Her Life? Oh, and totally get Helen, Salome and Lo back home, too? Only time will tell…
