Jeremy Front spends 24 hours with the enfant terrible of British Theatre, Bella Hayman.

She has recently announced her intention to direct a classic comedy in London's West End and Maureen Lipman has been signed up by the genius theatre director who, Maureen says, 'always defies expectation'.

Jeremy gains unprecedented access to Bella's inner sanctum, the rehearsal room. There, he witnesses the process which produces some of theatre's most controversial productions, famous for repulsing and occasionally hospitalising audience members.

Will the latest production be brilliant or a complete and utter disaster?
