Bram Stoker, business manager for London’s Lyceum
Theatre, always expects the supernatural to be lurking
around the corner. But investigating the murder of a cast
member might be enough to make even him lose his
head…
1881. When the star and owner
of the Lyceum, Mr. Henry Irving, is poisoned on
Hamlet’s opening night, it’s up to stage manager
Harry Rivers to make sure the show goes on. Fortunately for
Harry, Mr. Irving is able to pull through and walk the
boards as planned. But when his understudy is killed the
very next day, Harry’s boss, Bram Stoker, becomes convinced
that foul play is afoot.
Mr. Irving has a list
of enemies longer than a Shakespearean soliloquy, any of
whom would have been happy for the curtain never to rise. It
soon becomes clear that nefarious, possibly magical, methods
are being employed to shut the play down. With more cast and
crew members falling victim to the increasingly dangerous
accidents on set, it’s up to Harry and Stoker to figure out
which of Irving’s critics has a voodoo vendetta…
