Woman to Woman is a comedic drama about black women shape-shifters and love. Two creative lovers, a voluptuous actress and a happily retired drag king, are about to face the most challenging time of their relationship. Evonne wants to be a star but whose hiring size is 14 with an attitude on Broadway. Roni wants to settle down, but her past won’t let her. As the comfortable love affair they have wrapped themselves into unravels and clashes with family values, self-image, and dreams of fame, they must decide if playing the part is worth the risk.<\/p>\n
