Ben Elton’s satire on Hollywood ‘Popcorn’, adapted from his novel to the stage, won the 1998 Olivier Award. An Oscar-winning director is taken hostage by a pair of serial killers who have based themselves on characters from his films. Now the director, who acts and talks like a cross between Oliver Stone and Quentin Tarantino, must face the moral consequences of his influence on popular culture. A witty, violent tale that addresses serious issues.
