What is Life & Beth about?
Life & Beth, which Amy described as her "passion project" tells the story of Beth, a Manhattan-based, fast-approaching-40-year-old woman who has just broken up with her boyfriend, is getting tired of her job, and has realised she prefers spending her Friday evenings in late-night retail sales than in the club.
But when what's described in the synopsis as a "sudden incident" occurs, Beth is forced to reconsider what's important. Through flashbacks to her younger self, she begins to learn how she became who she is and who she wants to become. "A trip down memory lane is a strong source of trauma, comedy and moving forward," reads the synopsis. We can't wait!
