Two pairs of directors and actors zigzag on stage, talking across time and across each other. In each, one holds the power and the other attempts to wrest it. In 1960s Los Angeles, Alfred Hitchcock (Ian McNeice) is in an after-hours rehearsal for the film Marnie with Tippi Hedren (Joanna Vanderham), boasting of how he discovered her, controlling what she wears and commanding her into the bedroom. Alongside them, in a separate 60s bubble in a Suffolk cottage, is Vincent Price (Jonathan Hyde), instructing young director Michael Reeves (Rowan Polonski) to fall to his knees to beg him not to quit Witchfinder General, the film they are working on.
