Three men, Belvedere Thornton, an ageing Shakespearean actor who was a star in Hollywood; Mickey Finnegan, an over the hill club comic; and Billy Winter, time and drug ravaged rock superstar find themselves on the stage of a decrepit theatre. None of them have any recollection of how they got there. They meet Angela and Diana who tell them they are there to audition for a newly discovered play by William Shakespeare. In the wings in a dark room Mr. Lucy, the show's producer sits and watches while the women put the men through an interrogation that dredges up the worst nightmare moments of their lives. Why and what is the purpose of auditioning for Mr. Lucy and his mysterious company? It is a horrific tale of the supernatural and the occult, with strong sex scenes.
