Read on for the synopsis of Snapped...

Is the IT girl losing it?

Sara B. has been a style icon and arbiter of the fashion world since establishing the highly successful Snap magazine in 1990s.  With a sharp eye for trends and a no-victim policy, Sara is infamous for her brutally honest DOs and DON'Ts photo spread in which she names and shames some of the city's best and worst dressed.

But on the edge of her fortieth birthday, a particularly bad call on a DO or DON'T makes Sara begin to question her once faultless judgement. To make matters worse, Sara has just hired a new assistant, Eva, her self-confessed biggest fan.  With her orthopedic shoes,  burgundy hair and vintage cardigan adorned with Brownie badges, Eva is definitely a DO.  However, as Eva begins to take over both her business and private life, Sara realises that years spent cutting people down might just come back to bite her.  And what's more Eva might just be the one to knock her off the top of the style pile.

Fueled by alcohol, nicotine and self-loathing, Sara life spirals towards meltdown.  Everything and everyone seem to be changing around her and not only can Sara not keep up, she isn't even sure she wants to.

In this extraodinary debut, Klaffke's dark humour and sharp social observations will make you laugh, cry and cringe.
