Specter of the Rose

Theatrical producer Michael Chekhov and ballet instructor Judith Anderson want to stage a new show starring the great Ivan Kirov, despite the dancer being a suspect in the murder of his wife seven months earlier. An ambitious young ballerina helps nurse the unstable Kirov back to health, in hopes she will be his partner in his triumphant return to the stage. Is Kirov guilty? Will the staging of "Le Spectre de la Rose" be an artistic triumph, or a murderous tragedy?
