In Between the Sheets

Tickets and Information

Call them transcripts of dreams or deadly accurate maps of the tremor zones of the psyche, the three short stories featured in Ian McEwan's In Between the Sheets: A Psycho-Sexual Adventure in Three Scenes engage and implicate us in the most fearful ways imaginable. In Pornography, a two-timing adult magazine-shop worker becomes an unwilling object in the fantasies of his victims. A jaded millionaire buys himself the perfect mistress and plunges into a hell of jealousy and despair in Dead As They Come. Finally, in Psychopolis, a London screenwriter visiting Los Angeles finds himself the only sane man amongst the population of the inhabitants of that psychotic metropolis. Seth Duerr directs.
