SEASON PREMIERE: The first season of Doll & Em was all about the power struggles, and shifts, between actress Emily Mortimer and best friend Dolly Wells – who play exaggerated versions of themselves. For this second season, the two TV characters, like their real-life creators, have decided to collaborate, isolating themselves in a lighthouse to write a play, which they rush right to Broadway to try and sell as first-time playwrights. And if it seems obvious where this season is going, straight to disillusionment and failure, it’s not going there. Before the season opener is over, Doll and Em not only have a play, they have a New York theater.
