The play

Set in the Beverley Hills home of Tarantino-style, Oscar-winning, movie director Bruce Delamitri, Popcorn is a satirical comedy thriller.

When notorious killers Wayne and Scout interrupt Bruce’s passionate introduction to Brooke Daniels (nude model and actress), they want more than an autograph from their cinematic idol. Wayne intends to use Bruce’s “art” as justification for murder. Events are disrupted with the arrival of Karl (Bruce’s producer) and Farrah Delamitri (Bruce’s soon-to-be ex-wife) with spoilt teenage daughter, Velvet. But Wayne means to succeed — whatever the cost.

Winner of the 1998 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and the Barclays Theatre Award for Best New Play.
