The Funny Girls

Barbra Streisand & Joan Rivers are back in business… Reuniting legendary icons Barbra Streisand and Joan Rivers in a fictional stand-off, Roy Smiles’ play is a fantastical clash of ego and wit, laced with lashings of Jewish humour. On this night Streisand's mother has come to see the show. Barbra knows her mother will criticise. She knows her mother will dump on her dreams. She is terrified to face her. It's up to Joan Rivers to talk her into going on stage: to become the star she will surely be. There is an agent in to see the show. It's Rivers' big chance. She will get Streisand on stage come hell or high water. Mayhem ensues. Fast forward ten years: Streisand is playing Vegas. She is a huge star. Rivers is now a hugely successful comedian. The toast of The Tonight Show. She comes to visit Barbra. Both believe they are the most talented Jewish woman on the planet. One of them is wrong....
