TO KILL FOR

A Play by Lucy Gray

"To Kill For" is set in the afterlife when Alfred Hitchcock is depressed because he misses his wife, Alma Reville, who died six months ago and has not yet come to find him. Instead, a film buff comes to assist him in remaking "Vertigo". She posits that he is not ready to see Alma yet. Later, another visitor, Tippi Hedren, the actress who formed a turning point in Hitch's life, speculates that he wouldn't recognize Alma if he saw her. By the time his wife appears, in this funny, shrewd dramatic fantasy, she and Hitch are able to create a fresh approach to one another in which he is no longer the director.
