Synopsis

Stage Fright deals with the relationship between actors and critics in sardonic, blackly comic fashion, positing a situation in which a husband-and-wife acting team take prisoner a critic who has given them vituperative reviews in past years. The actors get their revenge by punishing him both verbally and physically, even as he continues to berate them (and most actors) for being second-rate talents.
