A Dane, a Swain, and a Thane enter a bar...

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 seek to escape their storylines. As they conspire to be free of their creator and flee their destinies, they are interrupted by none other than Will Shakespeare himself. Tragedy escalates into mayhem once Mercutio arrives... Will the plotting protagonists prevail? Can Shakespeare stop his characters conspiring and save himself? It may end in murder, but whose?
