What do you get when you combine an after school special, a penguin heist, accent-challenged knights, puppet-show Shakespeare, and a vampire murder mystery? One playwright thinks these could be the ingredients for his magnum opus, but it could be the recipe for the worst play ever written in the history of the world...and possibly the universe. With Stage Directions and Scene Heading as our narrators and flashy Flashback giving backstory, nothing on earth could possibly outdo this hilariously awful night of theater.
