The year is 1983. Meet Karen, “Daddy’s little princess”, a successful commodities trader at The Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the mistress of Sam, a high-stakes market maker and billionaire trader in the S & P 500 pit. In this podcast, Karen recounts an incident when she was eleven that turned her life upside down.
Meet Dorothy, Sam’s wife, and the mother of their twin daughters. Imagine these two women getting to know each other as the last guests at a lavish, decadent party at Dorothy and Sam’s home. Imagine that one of these women must trust – and rely on the other — in just a few moments from now, as life takes a sudden, irrevocable turn.
In this podcast, Dorothy discovers in a quiet moment, that her life has already changed profoundly. Both women experience these moments, after which nothing will ever be ‘normal’ again.
This #podcast is part of a theatrical production called JUST A LITTLE FEVER, written by Caitlin Hicks and produced in Toronto, Vancouver and Gibsons, at the Heritage Playhouse on the Sunshine Coast.
