It’s 1953, George and Charlotte Hay are two fading stars concurrently appearing in two plays, Private Lives & Cyrano de Bergerac in Buffalo, New York. Their marriage is on the brink of a split up, caused by George’s ‘interest’ in a young actress. Mega Hollywood director, Frank Capra, is coming to see their matinee…if he likes what he sees, it could be the big Hollywood break they are looking for. Mayhem and naked ambition take over as George and Charlotte do anything and everything in their power to make Capra love them.

Aspiring playwright Nigel Burke is neurotic, agoraphobic and hasn't written a word for three months, to the chagrin of his wife, who is at the end of her tether. His agent is desperate for him to start writing again. A mysterious man who knows of Nigel's interest in Lord Byron, gives him a goblet used by the poet. Nigel drinks from it and there is a change in his confidence and manner. Then Byron himself appears. Part ghost story, part thriller, part battle-of-the-sexes comedy.

Few more poignant true stories emerged from World War II than the diary of young Anne Frank. Published long afterward the end of the war by her father, the only family survivor, it records the minutiae of the twenty-five months that two Jewish families spent in hiding from the Gestapo in an Amsterdam warehouse attic. The constant secrecy, the growing hunger and the friction of living in such cramped conditions could not dull Anne's vibrant personality or her passion for living.
