Presented by: The Music Firm (UK) with C ARTS
Three men walk into a bar – a Dane, a Swain, and a Thane. Tired of their tragic lives and nightly deaths, Hamlet, King Lear and Macbeth conspire to be free of their creator and flee their destinies. They are interrupted by none other than their author himself, Will Shakespeare. The tragedy escalates into mayhem and mischief once Mercutio arrives. Will the plotting protagonists prevail? Can Shakespeare stop his conspiring characters? It may end in murder, but whose?
