Synopsis

Wishing to regain his popularity, Shakespeare turns to the StarKeeper for permission to return to earth in order to make a box office smash out of his most popular hit Hamlet, as a soap opera! Why not? It already has everything -- a slew of murders, love affairs, familial conniving. So with high flying fun, playwright Filichia unfolds the dreadful tale of Hamlet's woes in the manner of the ever-popular soaps as seen on daytime television.
