"When a woman says she needs new shoes, what she really wants is a new job. When she says she needs a new house, she wants a new husband. And when she says she wants A NEW CAR, she wants a NEW LIFE!" - Becky in Becky's New Car
Becky's life isn't exactly unhappy - but from her desk at a car dealership she can't help but wonder what else is out there. And then she finds out. When a wealthy suitor presumes she is a widow, she finds herself leading a double life that quickly accelerates out of her control. This clever and witty new comedy takes us on one woman's unexpected, hilarious, and ultimately moving escape from the midlife doldrums.
