Jonathan Kent director of Good People, The Slaves of Solitude, and The Forest, makes his long awaited retun to Hampstead Theatre.

About Double Feature 

The story takes place between 1964 and 1967, in a rented Suffolk cottage, where a highly talented young film director is immersed in the creation of his masterpiece. However, he finds himself in a challenging situation as he clashes with an older actor, mandated by the studio, who threatens to abandon the film. 

This predicament jeopardises Michael Reeves' career. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, on a Hollywood set designed to resemble a Suffolk cottage, a renowned director and his leading actress are involved in a distinct power struggle…their names are Alfred Hitchcock and Tippi Hedren, and they’re about to take time off from making Marnie for one final confrontation.
