“Was it, is there, is there any chance it was self-defense?”
“Only if I was protecting myself from his white male fragility. But then, we’d all have a case, wouldn’t we?”
Don’t mess with a menopausal best friend and her box of tools. Ozda’s new home is supposed to be the perfect setting for an old-fashioned girls’ night: unpacking boxes, catching up, and commiserating about life. But when Ozda and her best friend, Katy, discover Teresa has been rekindling her relationship with a toxic ex, the night takes a very unexpected turn – leaving Katy with a tire iron in her hand and a dead body on the floor. Now, with no time to waste and no clue as to what they are doing, the life-long best friends must figure out how to dispose of the body without getting caught…all while considering the long-term lucrative potential of making this their new side hustle to save other women from bad relationships. Laced with sharp humor, the world premiere of The Bechdel Test is a sharp and gloriously dark comedy about reclaiming your voice and your space… with a tire iron.
