Actually, it was three stories .... 1919, 1959, and 1999.
"Be prepared to travel through time if you see Terry Johnson's critically acclaimed play Hitchcock Blonde.
Starring Rosamund Pike and William Hootkins, the play shifts between 1919, 1959 and 1999; it's been described as dark and deep, and touches on the relationships of dysfunctional men and younger women.
The play is about the search for the true Hitchcock, and the three plots interweave: In 1999 we see a middle aged university lecturer luring a student to a Greek island to restore a lost Hitchcock film.
Go back in time to 1959 and we see Hitchcock himself scrutinising Janet Leigh's body double (played by Rosamund Pike) in Psycho.
Eventually the plot takes the audience to 1919 and a recreation of a lost Hitchcock film that explores the film maker's obsession with Blonde women.
Along the way, the complex plot takes in diverse themes including relationships, hilarious observations on the fifty-something generation, as well as dodgy tourists and snobbery in the British film Industry."
