This is a story about THREE famous women with their heads cut off:
Medusa, Anne Boleyn, Marie-Antoinette
The similarity between them is not only that they all end up beheaded, 
but that, ultimately, they all lost their heads because of, men.

So, what would they say to each other if they met in a museum displaying famous ways to die?
The story of the play takes place in A Museum of Famous Death, where the various manners of death of various famous people have been displayed, including:
 Achilles (heel), Socrates (sentenced to death by being given a cup of poison hemlock), Julius Caesar (23 knives), Grigori Rasputin (poison, gunshots, cold winter river), Giordano Bruno (burned), Joan of Arc (burned), Cleopatra VII (suicide with a poisonous snake), 杨玉环(自缢), Ophelia (drown in water), Van Gogh (suicide with gun), Ernest Hemingway (suicide with gun), Virginia Woolf (suicide drowning), Louis XVI (beheaded with Marie), George II (die on a toliet called "close stool"), Henry I (eating eel), Fernando I of Portugal (eating too much)
......
Among them are our favourite beheaded girls: Medusa, Anne, Marie,
their conversation began with who should be on the cover of the Decapitated Museum,
but in the process of arguing, they gradually discovered more common ground between them,
with the reveal of the person on the cover (Mary's husband Louis XVI), 
they all fully realize that the reason for their ending is actually the patriarchal society
