The story of the play revolves around Norma Desmond, one of the most famous stars to have graced the screen during the silent films era. She hasn't quite made the jump to talking movies and one of the reasons is that age has started to catch up. Norma however still thinks she is good enough to make the switch. Joe Gillis, a young aspiring screenwriter then gets to meet her accidently. Desmond shows her a script she had been writing that she thinks will take her to the top of the movie industry once again. Gillis tells her that he will edit the script for her if she lets him stay in her worn down mansion. Desmond agrees to that and the two began to live together while Gillis works on the script. Gillis is in love with Betty Schaefer who is a script writer. Desmond starts to lavish Gillis with expensive gifts because she thinks he is going to end up helping her re-gain her throne as the most sought after actress in the industry. She eventually ends up falling in love with Gillis and that is what triggers a series of events that lead all the way to its stunning conclusion.
