from Polis Loizou

“Keep your pretty head, son, or you’ll lose it.”

Hollywood, the 1940s. 

A charismatic but notorious film director auditions a young actor for a horror movie whose lead has died under mysterious circumstances. He then proceeds to lift the veil on exploitation, broken promises, sex, cults, and other dark practices that go on behind the screen – not to mention what may have happened to his former star.

There’s a fine line between artifice and fact. And when that line is blurred, nightmares can come true.

Award-winning theatre-maker Polis Loizou returns to Buxton Fringe with a tale to fill you with dread... and doubt.
