About the Show

Tony Award-winner John Logan's play inspired by the fractious relationship between Alfred Hitchcock and Tippi Hedren.

In a rented cottage in Suffolk, a brilliant young movie director confronts the aging star that the studio has made him hire. Vincent Price is about to walk out on the film, and Michael Reeves’ career hangs by a thread. Across the world, in a strange facsimile of a Suffolk cottage created on a Hollywood lot, a great director and his star are engaged in a very different sort of power struggle, as Alfred Hitchcock and Tippi Hedren have one final confrontation.

Jonathan Kent returns to the Hampstead Theatre to direct John Logan's play.
