In Hollywood’s Golden Age, two queens reigned supreme — Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Before What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? lit up cinemas, their off-camera rivalry was already a blockbuster. 

Anton Burge’s deliciously wicked two-hander pulls back the curtain on the set where egos clashed, tempers flared, and a legendary feud hit boiling point. 

With Jeanette Cronin (Dark Voyager) as Bette Davis and Lucia Mastrantone (Masterclass) as Joan Crawford, take a front row seat to an iconic battle of barbs, ambition and brilliance. BETTE & JOAN captures the vulnerability and venom of two extraordinary women fighting for relevance — and one last moment in the spotlight.
