| Set in the late 1500s/early 1600s at a feast organised by the renowned playwright William Sheepsheare. The evening appears to be going as planned, until Sheepsheare discovers that his wife Katheter DeVane has shuffled off this mortal coil and it appears to be a case of murder most foul. off this mortal coil and it appears to be a case of murder most foul. The eight guests are: • Queen Ilicibeth: The much loved Queen of England. However, the recent defeat of her army by the French has blemished her otherwise perfect record. • Lady MacDeth: A beautiful young woman who took her secret family recipe and has opened a hugely successful fast- food chain. It is believed that her wealth has been more than doubled. • Mary, Queen of Schnapps: A beautiful monarch who was disposed of her throne by Illicibeth. Her attitude is raw and she has been known to declare war over petty issues. • Ophelia Bottomsworth: The only survivor of a horrid shipwreck who has since been taken under the wing of Illicibeth. She now serves as the Queen's personal maidservant. • Spamlet, Prince of Hallmarke: A drop-dead gorgeous young prince who is being groomed for the throne by Illicibeth. • Caliban Rollon: A brash, rough commoner who looks are both handsomely rogueish and terribly intimidating. While he is of the simple commonfolk, he has gained the attention of the royal family. • Gridlock, the Merchant of Tennis: The shrewd inventor of the newest sporting craze. It is believed that he may be involved romantically with the Queen. • Costello the Abbott: A former holy man who has recently become a theatre critic. His harsh review of Sheepsheare's All's Well That Ends Where Everyone Dies is probably better remembered than the play itself. |
