Ophelia is having a VERY bad day. Her dad is controlling, her boyfriend is crazy, and now she’s DEAD. And apparently there’s an afterlife. Things seem like they just can’t get any worse…

But when Ophelia finds out they double-booked her grave – and with a JESTER – she realizes there really IS something rotten in the state of Denmark. And it’s her new co-star.

What dreams may come while they wait for someone – ANYONE – to explain what Death is all about? Who knows! There wasn’t a handbook in the coffin.

But even in the face of Infinite Silence, this odd couple of comic corpses discover the power and hope of Infinite Jest.

So join us for a stiff drink with two of Shakespeare’s most famous stiffs. You’ll laugh yourself to death.
