Bram Stoker, business manager for Londonโs 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 headโฆ
1881. When the star and owner of the Lyceum, Mr. Henry Irving, is poisoned on Hamletโs opening night, itโs 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, Harryโs 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, itโs up to Harry and Stoker to figure out which of Irvingโs critics has a voodoo vendettaโฆ
