Summary
Four thespian enthusiasts find themselves in a dusty attic in Droitwich. Their guide explains that Shakespeare, aged ten, lived there. Then there emerges a Tudor-looking man, the ghost of Terry Shakespeare, embittered by his brother William's literary thievery. To prove his point, he puts the visitors in a trance, making them perform scenes from the plays he has written.
