Beware of the Muse and what she offers, what she demands in return may be more than you can pay At The Mercury Theatre in London's West End, rumours are circulating of a curse. It is said that the lead actress Lilith has made a pact with the tragic muse of Greek mythology, to become the greatest actress to ever grace the stage. Suspicious of Lilith, the theatre owner’s jealous wife sends dresser Jenny to spy on her, and desperate for the money to help her family, Jenny agrees. What Jenny finds is a woman as astonishing in her performance as she is provocative in nature. On stage, it's as though Lilith is possessed by the characters she plays, yet off stage she is as tragic as the Muse who inspires her, and Jenny befriends the troubled actress. But when strange events occur around the theatre, Jenny wonders if the rumours are true, and fears that when the Muse comes calling for payment, the cost will be too high.
