FARCE/MYSTERY. Several actors converge at a country inn to rehearse A Midsummer Night’s Dream for their annual Countryside Shakespeare performance. They meet their new cast member, a shoe store owner, Titus Barnaby, who, much to their horror, inadvertently mutters “Macbeth,” placing a curse on their production. But before they can find a way to reverse the infamous curse, victims begin to mysteriously drop dead one by one. With a giant tree blocking the road, the cast finds that they are trapped inside the inn with a pile of dead bodies and a mysterious shady character lurking about. The laughs never end in this fast-paced comedy featuring an ensemble cast and unlimited opportunities to showcase physical humor.
