The first production of The New Globe Players was marked by murder. Now Suzanne Thornton's company dares to mount the most cursed of plays...
When charming Scotsman Diarmid Ramsay asks to play the titular role in Macbeth, he sets off a flurry of excitement among The New Globe Players. Despite protests from the company director that performing the 'Scottish play' will lead only to disaster, Suzanne decides that the show must go on-'with herself acting the part of Lady Macbeth, opposite the handsome stranger.
Rehearsals begin-'but then rumors about Ramsay arise, implicating him in the death of a sailor found behind the Goat and Boar. Is the man a murderer, possibly involved in a plot against the newly restored king? Suzanne refuses to believe it, until another murder connected to Ramsay occurs.
It seems the curse of Macbeth may have been unleashed, leaving Suzanne no choice but to use her wits and her wiles to determine if Ramsay is a gifted actor-'or a murderous villain.
