Description In an epic feat of endurance, Nat Randall performs a single scene inspired by John Cassavetes' 1977 film 'Opening Night', on repeat for 24 continuous hours. Starring opposite Randall are 100 different men who range in age, background and acting ability. Each scene is captured on camera and projected live alongside the stages performance. Through the repetition of this intimate encounter, 'The Second Woman' explores the complex interplay between identity, performance, gender and emotion.
