In this mystery-meets-fantasy penned by Alan Moore, Fletcher Dennis (Tom Burke, Mank), a man of many talents and identities, is on a mission to locate a stolen artefact. Arriving in a strange, haunted English town, he sinks into in a bizarre vaudevillian world populated with vampires, sleeping beauties, and masked avengers. Soon Fletcher discovers that dreams and reality have been blurred and there might no longer be a real world to go back to.
Also starring Siobhan Hewlett (The Lost Girls) and Ellie Bamber (The Serpent), The Show is the feature directorial debut of Mitch Jenkins, a long-time friend and creative partner of Moore.
