Lee McQueen, alone and troubled in his beautiful townhouse, is trying to come up with his new collection. He must pitch to his investors the next morning, but he’s got nothing: inspiration has deserted him. Dahlia, a mysterious young woman, breaks into his house. She wants to steal a dress but also to escape from her own troubled life. As McQueen is about to call the police something in her raw honesty, her boldness, intrigues him. He changes his mind, puts down the phone. (Filmed at the St James Theatre, London, in May 2015.)

King Herod Antipas marries his brother's wife, Herodias, which is not acceptable in Judaism and therefore arouses the wrath of John the Baptist. To silence John, who won't stop speaking out against Herodias, Herod throws him into a dungeon. Salome, Herodia's daughter falls in love with John who calls her an abomination and refuses to reciprocate her love. Salome seduces her step father, Herod and forces him to execute John.
