The King’s Men are getting the band back together. The goal: to gather Shakespeare's scattered masterpieces and bind them to each other, and to history. Oh, and to make sure some hack doesn't completely ruin "Hamlet" in the meantime. What begins as a project to honor their deceased friend turns into a madcap feat as over-the-hill actors undertake their new publishing mission with pluck, wit, and hearts full of joy. With moments ranging from hilarious to heartbreaking, it's a theatrical, beat-the-clock race to save a legacy, and to re-discover themselves along the way.
