| Maiming Of The Shrew |
 | |  |
| evening appears to be going as planned, until Sheepsheare discovers that his wife Katheter DeVane has shuffled off this mortal coil and it appears to be a case of murder most foul. The eight guests are: • Queen Illicibeth: The much loved Queen of England. However, the recent defeat of her army by the French has blemished her otherwise perfect record. • Lady MacDeth: A beautiful young woman who took her secret family recipe and has opened a hugely successful fast- food chain. It is believed that her wealth has been more than doubled. • Mary, Queen of Schnapps: A beautiful monarch who was disposed of her throne by Illicibeth. Her attitude is raw and she has been known to declare war over petty issues. • Ophelia Bottomsworth: The only survivor of a horrid shipwreck who has since been taken under the wing of Illicibeth. She now serves as the Queen's personal maidservant. • Spamlet, Prince of Hallmarke: A drop-dead gorgeous young prince who is being groomed for the throne by Illicibeth. • Caliban Rollon: A brash, rough commoner who looks are both handsomely rogueish and terribly intimidating. While he is of the simple commonfolk, he has gained the attention of the royal family. • Gridlock, the Merchant of Tennis: The shrewd inventor of the newest sporting craze. It is believed that he may be involved romantically with the Queen. • Costello the Abbott: A former holy man who has recently become a theatre critic. His harsh review of Sheepsheare's All's Well That Ends Where Everyone Dies is probably better remembered than the play itself. |
