Jeffrey case is a taxi driver who wants to play Hamlet.He does! Once!Jeffrey is called in as understudy at two hours notice and gives the most execrable performance of Hamlet in the history of theatre. It is a performance seen by every influential critic and arts' administrator in the country. Other more shadowy figures see it too. There are consequences.In a high-rise apartment building a group of people reside. All of them are costumed as characters from Shakespeare's plays. The man living in the penthouse apartment looks and dresses like Shakespeare. Strange chants and imprecations come from a windowless room on the 2nd floor. Mysterious ice-cream vans arrive and depart from behind an impenetrable high fence at this location.Jeffrey case stumbles into a nightmare world of drugs, sex, magic and Shakespeare as he tries to unravel the mystery of the severed head and the two-hundred thousand dollars mysteriously left in his taxi by the beautiful redhead in the silky green dress.The book is set around an outdoor production of 'A Midsummer-Night's Dream'. Many of the things that happen to the characters echo events in the play. Even the reason for the modern outdoor production is a mirror to the original production.Is Shakespeare alive? Who are the mysterious characters? Who is running the drugs' business in Jeffrey's hometown of sun city?Will Jeffrey ever get laid? Will he ever get to bed?Knowledge of Shakespeare's plays is not necessary to enjoy this very funny book.
