Two Short Women, written and directed by Ann Lambert, follows long-time friends Debra (Debra Kirshenbaum) and Laura (Laura Mitchell) on their vacation escape to a sunny paradise. The contrasts between the middle-aged pair are quickly established: Laura is recently divorced with two kids, Debra is never married, childless and kinda-sorta dating; Laura is reserved and tentative, pre-occupied with the world’s injustices, and Debra is a brassy broad keen on soaking up all of life’s bounty.
