Titus Andronicus.
William Shakespeare’s first—and bloodiest—play.
It’s a real killer.

1590s London: Two friends and playwrights, Will and Kit, battle demonic creatures throughout the city, armed with only their wits and their words.

Modern-day New York: Small theater director and would-be playwright Sunil Nair decides to put on an abbreviated version of Titus Andronicus. But as rehearsals begin, accidents start to occur among the cast and crew. Each one forces Sunil to adjust his plans, but each adjustment somehow makes things worse.

As the calamities pile up, Sunil begins to realize that some dark force is afflicting those around him—and it seems to be centered on the play. Can he figure out what is going on and stop it before it claims the lives of everyone involved . . . and then spills out into the wider world?

The play’s the thing, wherein to catch . . . something.
