A disgraced sci-fi TV star, Laura Miller, takes a comeback role in “A Doll’s House” opposite Roger, a robot actor whose existence threatens to upend her profession. As Laura tries to rebuild her reputation, the production spirals into chaos, with artistic anxiety, corporate ambition, and the theatre’s desperation to survive all colliding.
