CAUSE CELEB

Rosie Richardson works in trendy London, where she interfaces with savvy business executives. When a rocky relationship with a TV mover and shaker plunges her into a world of dysfunctional celebrities, Rosie escapes the madness by traveling to Africa to run a refugee camp. When famine, locusts, depleted medical supplies, an antagonistic neighboring country, and panic threaten a mass refugee exodus into the camp, Rosie turns to her former celebrity associates to raise funds via a dazzling international television appeal. Bernadette Quigley is unlimited in her ability to portray this cosmic cast of characters: Rosie’s inner sarcasm; her hotshot ex-boyfriend's self-centered pomposity; celebrity egos and eccentricities; and refugee desperation and selflessness.
