The line between life and death is blurred in Tuesday, a new dark comedy from A24, starring Veep, Seinfeld, and Marvel's Julia Louis-Dreyfus. She plays Zora, a single mother living with her terminally ill daughter Tuesday (Lola Petticrew), a good-humored but lonely teenager. Her friends have long since given up visiting her, she says, and her only company is Billie (Leah Harvey), a sincere but socially awkward young nurse.
Zora, meanwhile, is notably absent. Billie visits their London townhouse every day to take care of Tuesday, while Zora floats aimlessly around the city pretending to be at work. In truth, she quit her job some time ago and now makes enough money to put food on the table and keep the lights on by selling anything she can from their home, from antique trinkets to the tiles off the bathroom walls. Anything to avoid her sick daughter.
