Jessica and Jane have been living together for six months. They are
devoted friends--or are they? Jessica loves her friend with the
cruelty of total possessiveness. Jane is rich, silly, and drinks
rather too many brandy-and-sodas. Watching from the sidelines,
Sylvester regrets that she should be loved and bullied and perhaps
even murdered by that frightful Jessica, but decides it is none of
his business. When the Irish gentleman George Playfair meets Jane,
however, he thinks otherwise--he entices Jane to Ireland where the
battle for her devotion begins. A studied satire of art deco
decadence and louche behavior, "Devoted Ladies" is a sharp and
glittering satire on female love.
