'When sorrows come, they come not single spies but in battalions...' Hamlet and Ophelia are back in this return to the world of SMILE AND BE A VILLAIN, a magical retelling of one of literature's most heart-wrenching tragedies. In Denmark's capital, quiet streets hide the unrest of the people. War has impoverished them; magic is sickening them, though they may not know it. A new king reigns. But as battle drums are replaced by wedding bells, there are many in the city with reason to be displeased... Prince Hamlet licks his wounds. Ophelia lies in wait. And all around them the city, rotten to it...
'When sorrows come, they come not single spies but in battalions...' Hamlet and Ophelia are back in this return to the world of SMILE AND BE A VILLAIN, a magical retelling of one of literature's most heart-wrenching tragedies. In Denmark's capital, quiet streets hide the unrest of the people. War has impoverished them; magic is sickening them, though they may not know it. A new king reigns. But as battle drums are replaced by wedding bells, there are many in the city with reason to be displeased... Prince Hamlet licks his wounds. Ophelia lies in wait. And all around them the city, rotten to its stately heart, is beginning to crumble. While Hamlet grapples with what it will take to seek vengeance against his uncle for his crimes, Ophelia must fight to remain true to herself in the battle against corrupted magic. The only way they will be powerful enough to heal the damage done to Denmark is if they work together. But as their hearts rot in time with the city itself, it seems it will take more than the providence in the fall of a sparrow to heal their love - and their city. True love is sweet, but could revenge be sweeter?
